Hi
As a new member I hope someone can help a pc operator with limited tech knowledge. My HP Pavilion has slowed to a crawl over the last few days to the extent there is a delay with every key stroke/action.
Win XP Home Ed. 2Gb,512mb. IE7.0 and Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2. I have Zonealarm Pro,Nod32 anti Virus.Ad-aware,spybot. Scans with all have not made any improvement.

I have now found that a program vsmon.exe embedded in Zone alarm has been taking up large amounts of the cpu.I am having problems deleting this program - any suggestions would be helpful.
Post #3
Sorry for the delay :oops:
If you still need help and haven't posted at another forum.

Download and install AVG Anti-Spyware (ewido). Then scan and save the log from the scan.
Instructions and download link can be found here.


Rescan with hijackthis and post a new log with the results from AVG .
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
I will be emailed when you reply.

No other forum posted.
AVG and hijackthis logs below. I updated ZA pro and this seems to have improved the vsmon.exe usage of the cpu. I also uninstalled spyware doctor which seemed to be causing a conflict. Browsing speed has improved but still sluggish. Start up is also slow.
Thanks for the help.

These programs don't not need to startup if you want to click on start, then run, and type msconfig and then press enter.
When the window opens click on the startup tab and remove the checkmarks by these entries.
Then press ok until you are out of the program.

In msconfig I cannot see any of the items you show in the start up window. There are no O4 HKLM\ entries. All I have are eg Nv Cpl rundell 3.exeC:\wi etc Can you clarify please?

Spybot S&D lets you kill the 04's, the startups. Start Spybot click mode at the top left,
make sure that advanced mode is checked. Then click on tools on the lower left.
Then system startup, to the right is a double arrow bar click it to expand.
Now clicking on a value you will get a description of the command line. Removing the green
check mark will stop the startup, should you decide that you need or want it back just
replace the check mark. Restarting your PC will complete the change.
Remove the check marks from the ones listed below.

Hope this works better for you.

Yes - that worked fine and has speeded up the start up time. PC running much better now and can probably be left at that unless you can suggest any other action. I did log onto the maintenance site you linked and will try to follow the suggestions although the site needs to be updated for IE7 as far as cookies are concerned. Many thanks for all the help Little Eagle. ps I found this exercise very interesting. Do you have enough helpers or are you still looking for learners?
