There are some processes that need to be removed:
1) You are running both McAfee and Symantec. It looks like they are both 'suites'. This means they have antivirus, firewall and additional features.
2) You are also running ZoneAlarm. I'm not sure if it's just the firewall or the newer program which includes an AV.
You need to get down to
ONE antivirus program and ONE firewall. Multiple antimalware programs are okay. Here are some tools to aid in removing any of the three programs:
- McAfee Removal
- Norton Removal Tool
- To uninstall ZoneAlarm
[1] Go to Control Center> go to the Preferences tab of the Overview panel.
[2] Clear the check box labeled Load ZoneAlarm at startup.
[3] Reboot the computer.
[4] In Windows start menu: Go to Start> Programs> Zone Labs
[5] Click Uninstall ZoneAlarm.
[6] During the uninstallation process, you will see a dialog box titles "This is a security check from the Zone Labs security engine> Click YES in this dialog box.
There are numerous Warnings that '"LiveUpdate returned a non-critical error. Available content updates may have failed to install." and also "Source = MCUpdate | ID = 0 -> Error connecting to the internet. Unable to contact server." So it's possible that neither of these security suites are getting current updates.
I would advise you to reboot after removing one of the security suites, then run a full system scan with the program you kept.
The system also has multiple programs running to 'optomize' it. Problem is, many of test programs use more resources than they free up for you!
- ConsumerSoft : My Faster PC™ Software Suite: helps users clean and optimize their computers for optimal performance. The software uses a suite of industry standard tools and best-practices to tweak settings, search for invalid system information, clean-up unneeded files.
- FixCleaner : a multi-purpose utility for diagnosing and repairing system errors as well as optimizing PC settings.

Then each of these makes a folder of their 'application data.'
P2P or 'file sharing Warning:
I notice that you are running
LimeWire
Note: Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. I suggest that you uninstall
LimeWire for the following reasons:
- As long as you are using file sharing networks and programs which are from sources that are not documented, you cannot verity that a download is legitimate.
- Malware writers use these program to include malicious content.
- Fie sharing is usually unmonitored and there is a danger that your private files might be accessed.
- The 'sharing' also includes malware that the shared system has on it.
- Files that are illegal can be spread through file sharing.
Please read the information on
P2P Warning to help you better understand these dangers.

I am not running a pop up stopper
We all need a pop-up stopper! Firefox has one built in- make sure it's enabled. Look under Tools> Content> Make sure 'Block pop-ups' is checked.
I would like to run an online AV scan to make sure nothing has gotten through with the AV duplication: See if this one will work for the 64bit, Win 7:
Run Eset NOD32 Online AntiVirus Scanner HERE
- Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
- Click Start
- When asked, allow the Active X control to install
- Disable your current Antivirus software. You can usually do this with its Notification Tray icon near the clock.
- Click Start
- Make sure that the option "Remove found threats" is Unchecked, and the option "Scan unwanted applications" is checked
- Click Scan
- Wait for the scan to finish
- Re-enable your Antivirus software.
- A logfile is created and located at C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt. Please include this on your post.
I'll check that log and if clean, will have you remove the cleaning tools. The rest will be up to you. This should include removing the outdated Java installs v1.0.14 I think it is.
