not bad. Only the things i want running are.  Is it possible that it could be the zonealarm security suite?  I just recently installed it.  But I don't really like it.

Go ahead.
You may try also uninstalling ZA, but before you do, download replacements:
- Avira free antivirus: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html
or
- Avast! free antivirus: http://filehippo.com/download_avast_antivirus/

and
- Comodo free firewall: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
or
Windows firewall up.

Physically disconnect from the Net, while making changes.

    task killer www.rsdsoft.com

    eraser www.heidi.ie/eraser

    For what it's worth - I had to delete the new version of Eraser about a month ago because of consistent errors that showed up with Event Viewer. I can't remember the exact error but my boot time increased quite a bit, that's why I went looking. The Heidi Forum was no help so I just uninstalled it.

      Have you considered running Lavasoft's Ad-Aware program?  I have found success in running this program first before my weekly ritual of tweeking my PC.  The website provides a Freeware copy, and I have used it for 3 years no Virus yet.

      Please advise if this was helpful? I have other steps you can use that have helped me.

      Nick, your input is appreciated, but like Carbon said, the original poster has deleted their account and is no longer a member.

      On that note, I am going to go ahead and lock this thread.
