Hello Everyone:

I think I have narrowed down my problem, but still need some help?

Here’s what I have done.

I cleaned the registry with System Mechanic Industrial Edition Ver 3.6d and removed all of the old keys, etc.

I defragged my computer.

I ran Spybot and deleted everything it found.

I ran ZoneAlarm, with the detection set to the highest levels, Enable byte-level scanning and Deep-intrusion Scan and deleted everything it found.

The ctfmom.exe file is MS, but I disabled it anyways.

I ran some time trials:

As is it took 2 minutes 10 seconds to get to my login screen and 6 minutes to get booted.

After removing ZoneAlarm, (I unplugged my internet connection) it took 1 minute 30 seconds to get to my login screen and 3 minutes to boot.

I got the same times turning off everything in startup, so I turned back on all of the Toshiba ones.

I installed an early version of ZoneAlarm Ver 5.1.001.00 and it took 2 minutes to get to my logon screen and 4 minutes to get booted.

I then upgraded back to my previous version of ZoneAlarm 6.5.737.000 and it took 1 minute and 55 seconds to get to my logon screen and 5 minutes and 5 seconds to boot.

I am running this version of ZoneAlarm on a lot of computers that still boot up much faster?

What am I missing

Thanks

Art
