AVG free & Zonealarm free - Vista activation crack kille

[Seeme]

After several installs of Vista, I have come to the conclusion that either AVG free or Zonealarm free is killing the Vista activation crack process. It's just happened again on this pc after installing both these apps, before hand the activation wasn't required !

Has anyone else experienced this ?

Which Vista Hack are you talking about please

I have experienced it as well. After installing Zone Alarm Free version
for vista, my operating system deactivated. I used Paradox crack to activate
Vista.

I noticed that after Zone Alarm was installed, a notification in the tray from microsoft appears saying that updates were installed. This happens even if windows updates is disabled.!!!

Yep happened to me to after installing ZoneAlarm, i was using VOATK v1.5.

Which Vista Hack are you talking about please

I'm using Windows Vista Ultimate Edition x86 Oem Permanently Actived Edition it has the ppf-o-matic3.exe to inject the correct certs etc into an iso before burning.

I think this caused Vista Lite to deactivate too.

I have experienced it as well. After installing Zone Alarm Free version for vista, my operating system deactivated. I used Paradox crack to activate
Vista.

Are you saying that you used Paradox before or after Zonealarm killed the activation ?

Another fresh install, this time using PC Tools Firewall Plus (free) and AVG free, all appears to be ok so far.

Ok, i can't test it right now myself.

1. The ZA comes with a MS Update that is not official, can someone report the KB number next time he / she installs ZA, . So we can investigate.

2. After the installation did anybody try to reinstall the crack, if so what did happen?

3. What did happen exactly, was the crack just disabled or removed?

That's what i can think of, please give full details,..

@Daz99, thanks for the info

I tried reinstalling a couple of different cracks (sorry but I forget which one's), none of them had any effect at all.

I've found out about this problem three months ago and I've posted my solution to the problem. Using Vista with toolkit 1.5 + Zonealarm and everything is fine.

Thanks for the link !

Many users of this forum warned not to use this update so I always left it out. It was a big mistake. If you update Vista with this update and then use the activation toolkit it won't ever deactivate.

Which toolkit is that exactly ?

I have Avast and I found that paradox crack wasn't working and that I had only 6 days for activation,I reinstalled paradox again ,booted,and now it's genuin again

Thanks dvdrw1024, I installed KB931573 as stated before installing
Zone Alarm.

Now Vista remains activated even after installing Zone Aalrm.

So if Zonealarm and AVG can detect/disable the vista crack, surley MS wont have any trouble in tackling it......................

When you install ZA software it installs an unofficial MS patch KB-929547, this is what kills the Vista crack. It is part of ZA software.

And no, it is not listed on the MS site, it is a covert patch.
