VSDATANT.SYS
I came across this stop Code error when installing the latest zonealarm 65_737_000_en.
It would install but upon reboot I got the BSOD saying the error was due to Vsdatant.sys.
It would not reboot without causing another BSOD, so I then upon reboot pressed F8 for options and chose safe mode.
I had read earlier on Zonelabs forum that this Vsdatant.sys is in conflict with some other software, although no one seems to know which one and that is what causes the BSOD.
So anyway in Safe Mode I then went to system device manager, clicked on view, then chose show hidden devices. Then checked out the non-plug and play devices and there was Vsdatant.sys. I checked its properties and changed it to disabled.
Then rebooted, came back to Safe Mode started up ZoneLab pro and chose to not start at system startup.....as I had read that also could be a problem..... But I dont think so as I hadnt even got that far yet and had this BSOD.
I then rebooted and so far all is good. I haven't had an error yet. I do like their program as it is so far leak proof and the newer firewall has the most common applications preconfigured, unlike some of their older ones. I do have to admit it does appear to have its problems but then again what software doesn't. Work through them and hopefully ZoneLab will take heed of them.
Helpful Hints when installing or uninstalling:
To install Zonealarm 65_737_000_en I even followed all the instructions . I then had to uninstall due to the error and followed these directions for that: Uninstall made easier

A note to the uninstalling of this software...after doing all that it says in the instructions. I further went into the registry and searched for vsdatant and vsmon and found more to delete. I also typed in Zonelab and Zonealarm and came up with a couple more. Maybe this was the interference with my install that I did again. So I may try one more time after cleaning again and see if I have same issues.
F-Secure Client Security (also a firewall) and the Cisco VPN client (which includes VSDATANT, the TrueVector firewall) will reliably bluescreen Windows.
