I'm on a net work that is shared. I have recently noticed event logs of another user logging on to my laptop. The first log on used my credentials and a name similar to mine. The next one was of that person changing the credentials and authority of that log on. After that there quit a few logs...

I made a mess trying to change security from Zone Alarm to Comodo - ended up with Avast.
The changes ( the initial try of Comodo) triggered a 10 second intermittent 'siren' from inside the unit (standard - not laptop).
I've tried every kind of removal, reinstall, reboot...

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall version: 11.0.780.000
The funny thing is that I get the BSOD when doing...

Hi
I was reading the post in the Windows 7 forum, about Microsoft's message that Security Essentials is not meant to be the only AV software that you run on your computer and that they may be dropping support for it.
Does that mean that they want you to run 2 antivirus programs?
I already...

This started happening a few days ago. All of a sudden, my computer would be act really sluggish and I'd look at the task manager and see that under processes, explorer.exe is taking up most of my 16GB of RAM.
It started happening after I was trying to play counter STrike after I had installed...

I've had quite a fight with my new computer build, mostly hardware related.

I am getting a lot of BSOD when my laptop is connected to an external monitor using a display-port cable.
The system is fine when I don't use a external monitor and use just laptop screen. External monitor is a Dell 30inch. I have tried different display-port cables, different monitors, tried...
Hello. I am trying to run a System Restore but have a problem I think with the ZoneAlarm firewall I am using. I also use Avast anti-virus, the free one, and Malwarebytes. I can disable the Avast, and I right click the ZoneAlarm symbol and select shutdown ZoneAlarm, then go ahead with my System...
I frequently experience BSOD problems ever since I bought this ASUS X53S one and a half month ago. I once reset the whole laptop back to default settings but that did not solve the problem. The OS is Win7 Home 64 bit and I used AVG Free 2011 antivirus and Zonealarm free firewalls.
I recon it...
