Default Do I have good security? And my computer is running slow.

I have zonealarm basic firewall, malwarebytes anti-malware, Spybot search and destroy, avast home edition, firefox.

I think they are good,, but they don't seem to be holding up too well.. Soetimes they will just shutdown without me telling them. Then, I turn them back on and thye start blasting me with alerts and things. Overall, I don't think that they are helping my computer at all because it is slowing down. I can hardly even open anything without it freezing . I also have to press the shutdown button 3-4 times until it actually shuts down. WHat is my problem here? Thanks.

You can have the best security in the world but if you are not careful what you click they are useless.

Follow the guide above, install the free software and post the log files, otherwise no one really knows what is wrong.

Default Do I have good security? And my computer is running slow.

Try uninstalling Zone Alarm and see if it helps. If not then I'm not sure what it is, very likely not malware.

    Click the "Browse" button and browse to this file in RED:

    C:\aidualc3\c0.exe

  • Click "Open".
  • Then click the "Send File" button at the bottom of the VirusTotal page.

Again sorry to butt in,

but if you have no luck with scanners, as evil says unlikely malware, so try downloading a "PC Health" program, such as MemTurbo or Dell PC Tuner

The latter is just a 30 day trial, but its great and it will solve your initial problems well within that timespan.
It includes allsorts of tools, including registry check/fixing, hard drive defrag, hard drive error fixing, internet speed optimizing, memory compacting, and a whole load more stuff..
