System Running Extremely Slow - Zone Alarm Due To Trojan
Nov 29, 2007
I am currently running XP and have zone alarm due to trojan I had a year ago. Two months ago for some reason I could no longer change my desktop background and when i tried to restore the computer to a previous time before we had the problem it would not work-none of the days I tried to restore (I tried multiple days). I since was able to restore my desktop (my brother ran some program) but ever since then the computer has run EXTREMELY SLOW

when i updated my Zone Alarm firewall, I uninstalled it cos I was getting severe problems with the computer completely hanging, after uninstalling and reboot chkdsk ran and on the first 5% or so of checking the index it found problems then ran thru chkdsk pretty fast until fixing unreadable security description datastreams. windows works absolutely fine no problems whatsoever, then next time i reboot it does the same, this time problems are non-stop until about 10% then fine from there on in, then when it finishes repairing the drive it gets stuck at repairing unreadable security descriptions date stream , says unable to read and boots straight into windows, again windows works fine except a little hanging.

I have Dell Demension XP 2pack, Home addition and I have been reading all kinds of posts about firewalls slow delay at startup. And main one I see is telling me that Zone Alarm is active before see the icon on tray but I am concern it not so--if my icon not there, Microsoft puts out a ''flag'' stating ''that my computor could be in danger as I do not have a firewall'' I am uptodate on firewall, I have minamal activity at start up, there is no virus or spyware but am I missing something here because the delay is anywhere 1-2 minutes?

My housemate had a terminal case of unprotected windows, i sorted his machine out (spybot, adaware, regclean, avast!, zonealarm, mst defrag, mbm5 - as was overheating prevoiously - sorted now).Now the system sometimes hangs after zonealarm requests access for a MS process.I am also getting an error i don't understand, not sure if its anything to do with the first problem; The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport DeviceNetBT_Tcpip_{B31AE179-7318-4162-86B6-D25BF39A9BD9}.

it takes forever to do anything. It's like it can only do one thing at a time its so slow. When I turn it on and log into my profile, it takes about 5 mins for it to load the desktop and about another 5 mins to load the antivirus software (Norton Security Suite 2010). The same goes for everything I do on this computer, it takes a while for the internet browser (IE 8 and FireFox), opening any program on this computer takes a while to load up. I have run Norton and it doesn't come up with anything. I have done a system restore a couple of times but it doesn't seem to help any

My pc is running extremely slow and is more often than enough running a 100%. This means I can only do one thing at a time i.e. If I am playing the media player I can't look at the internet.

The computer is a Dell Dimension 3000 with 512 MB RAM, and an Iomega Zip Drive attached. For some reason, it is running EXTREMELY slow at times, and need to reboot. I have run Trendmicro, Mcafee, Panda, Microsoft Antispyware, and Adaware but nothing serious seems to come up. I've run Registry Mechanic, Regseeker but it still runs slow at times.

I've been using Zone Alarm's firewall for several months now without a hitch. I turn on my computer today and get a Windows Security Alert notifying me that no firewall is detected even though it seems to be on. Is it something wrong with Windows or Zone Alarm? And how can I tell if Zone Alarm is actually in this case functioning?

Steve Gibson of GRC.com does not recommend Zone Alarm. "I would not, could not, and do not recommend
ZoneAlarm today."

i have used Zone Alarm almost since they have started. Unfortunatly they have been bought by Check Point an Israeli Company. If you get a notice to update say no. They have added what I call a VIRUS OF THE WORST KIND!!! It says your computer has an error and won't let you get on the INTERNET! I have tried everything. Reformatting my disk, reinstalling windows and leaving Zone Alarm out and it still comes back. I have tried almost evey ANTIVIrus on the Internet plus almost every Spyware. I righclicked on it and Notepad came up and said that it has intwined itself in Bellsouth DSL Software so I can't get to the Internet. I reinstalled Bellsouth and for a short time I can get to the Internet like now. BE very careful. Bellsouth has a security suite that allows me to get to the Internet, But I can't go to more than one site and I have to Reboot. It also fouled up my Printer even with the Bellsouth Security Suite and I had to remove my printer and Rinstall it. CAUTION!!! I also deleted it out of the Registry and it came back!

Could someone please take a look at my HJT log. My CPU went up to 100% about ten minutes ago and hasn't dropped since. I didn't see any odd processes and I just restarted and it just jumped right back up to 100.

my computer has been running abnormally slow, and I don't mean 5-10 seconds for a program to load, more minutes. Once, it took, from turning the computer on, to arriving on desktop a total of 12 minutes, that was without half the stuff even loading by then!
The slow speed usually occurs when rebooting, I left my computer on for serveral days and eventually it worked good as ever.
I'm not sure if it matters, but soon before loading the desktop, there's a weird grinding type noise coming from the computer, this lasts for about 5-6 seconds, and happens several times.

I have a Dell Inspiron 4150 running Windiws XP Home Edition.
I ripped some music off of some CDs. Approximately 10 albums I think. Everything worked fine. I closed the laptop screen (did not shut down the computer). When I tried to login yesterday, the process was ''extremely slow''. It takes normal time to get to the login screen upon boot-up but then its like a freeze. I can move the mouse but the rest of the process is taking way too long. I noticed the hard drive light continously lit and some kind of noise coming like something is going on. I tried starting the computer in safe mode and it works

I suppose I became bored(or stupid) but I decided to give Windows Live One Care a try. I like the idea that it has a two way firewall.I've tried Zone Alarm, but it's just too much trouble! Any opinions on this? I haven't read anything on this forum one way or the other. It has a 90 day free trial, so if I don't like it I can always reinstall my Avast,which I was having NO trouble with.

I have my winXP firewall enabled and at the same time, zonealarm. Will it have a conflict? Do I need to disable WinXP firewall? Or can I have the two running at the same time?

Though not being a computer professional or expert, wish to state that for many years I have been using ZoneAlarm Free version as my Firewall software. Recently tested the Kerio software and realized Kerio better in appearance, presentation, uncomplicated etc. and the best is the easiness in creating rules. In Kerio you could create Firewall rules straight away from the connection prompt. I am using the free version of Kerio.With best regards, Brother Brock.

I run off XP and have Free ZoneAlarm Firewall installed. No problem up until today, but after an XP download upgrade, could not get internet access. Removed ZA and used Windows Firewall and no problem. Reinstalled ZA and no access, so now back to MS Firewall.

I updated ZoneAlarm. Now, my XP machine will not bootstrap normally. I see the BSOD go by, but, it vanishes so quickly, I can't read it. I downloaded a tool that claims to read the minidump file, but, it's empty, so no help. How can I view the vanishing BSOD?
