ZoneAlarm is slowing down my internet. Any suggestions?

Question

When I turn ZoneAlarm off, my internet seems to work just fine. But, when I have ZoneAlarm on, my internet's speed decreases significantly. What's wrong?

Answer 1

You may want to visit http://www.iolo.com  or http://www.v-com.com and check out their system utilities.  Both are good products.  System Care 8 from avonquest is outstanding.

Answer 2

What's wrong is that Zone Alarm is a freaking hog!

Just get rid of it.  Remove it from your computer.

For dependable protection from a reliable, and small application:

I like this FREE tool that does an EXCELLENT job.

Avast free Home Edition

Get it here:

And please do a "thorough" scan as soon as you get it downloaded. The user interface is simple. Click the left side, and in the top menu that comes up, select thorough scan.

When it finds a culprit it throws up an alarm, then you DELETE the culprit, (do not quaranteen).

Then allow it to run all of the time, and you will be completely protected. It will "automatically" update itself, also for free.

You only need to renew your registration once a year, also free.

Note: I KNOW of several people who have used AVG and gotten a virus anyway.

Don't go with Zone Alarm as it is hoggy and conflicting.

I've tried them all, and have had wonderful results with DEPENDABLE AVAST for the last 5 years.

The corporation I work for uses the Pro version, and has never has an incident. Avast is your answer.

Answer 3
