xDB.tmp files
Looking in my Windows\Internet logs folder I can see a large number of these quite big files starting at xDB1.tmp and upwards. I do a regular disc clean up and clear out IE history now and again. As these are tmp files is it safe to get rid of them. Allowing for the other files such as ZA log files etc there are over 400MB of these xDB.tmp files.

Re: xDB.tmp files
I believe these have something to do with the firewall, being closed incorrectly.

Windows firewall was disabled as soon as I got this PC, always used ZA Pro.
So can I get rid of them.??
Just read that linked article, looks as though I should be able to manually delete them. I do clear out the older ZA logs periodically so I could do these at the same time.

Re: xDB.tmp files
You can disable zone alarm then create a backup folder and copy those files into them, then delete the originals and zone alarm should now treat it like it's just been installed, this should fix things after a restart. Ah sorry forgot to add, these files are normally copies of corrupted zone alarm database files. If you look in event viewer do you see errors concerning True Vector?

Re: xDB.tmp files
Just checked on the ZA Forum, it is safe to just delete these. Nothing at all in event viewer.

Re: xDB.tmp files
ah right, those files are backup which zone alarm creates if it finds database corruption. On a restart if it finds the database it corrupt it will copy it over to tmp and make a new one.

Re: xDB.tmp files
How many other people with ZoneAlarm check their Windows\Internet Logs?
I have just cleared out over 4 Gig of xDB.tmp files. 
just need to find out if I can get rid of the two very large vsmon.zip files, awaiting response from ZA user forums.

Further proof (as if I needed it) that I am going mad......
I just did a search for xDB.* and vsmon.* and didn't find either.....
Why does this mean I'm going mad?
