i am now thinking that it's u******* with ZoneAlarm that is causing the problem. i have been using u******* for a long time and haven't experienced freezing. until only recently, when i switched to ZoneAlarm that the freezing occured. ZoneAlarm and Avast together doesn't freeze the PC, as have been observed that past couple of hours.

Oh gee, excuse me. You can tell I'm an old timer. Ok, MacBook it is. Anyway, Our G3 iBook 800's really starting to look slow.

February 26th, 2007 08:54 AM #5Come to think of it, I started using Zone Alarm and Spybot only after I shifted to AMD. I wonder if its a coincidence. As for p2p, I use emule and azereus. Originally Posted by boybi

Funny thing also, Zonealarm has a penchant to update its antivirus and antispyware definitions from the internet during startup. This exacerbates the "freeze" problem.
