    Checking for programs that may be commandeering my internet
    « on: April 28, 2009, 10:04:49 AM »
    In addition to the problems I have posted, I have had problems with my dsl modem.  When I cannot get an internet connection, the modem "dsl" light is on, the "internet" light is off but the access light to my computer is flashing rapidly.  I have gone through all the steps on your site to remove malware and have come up with nothing serious.  So will someone look at my Hyjack This log.  It seems ok.  I have also run the hackerwhacker trace port but it doesn't seem to finish.

    Have you tried disabling Zone Alarm?

      Yes, then turn it back on and everything returns to normal.   However, sometimes I have to reboot the modem.

      Your settings/software/??? must not be agreeing with Zome Alarm.

      Try another good free firewall.

      1) Comodo (Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" if you choose this one)
      2) Online Armor
      3) Sunbelt/Kerio
      4) Agnitum
      5) PC Tools Firewall Plus
