After i got rid of a trojan and installed zone alarm suite, my system idle process has been hogging up a good % of my cpu and noticeably slowing it down.

HJT Log Help

Heres my hjt log.
I have been having an issue of system idle process hogging my
cpu usage, and it is noticeably slowing my system down.
Right after i got rid of a trojan and installed zone alarm
suite it started happening.

i scanned with two of them, and posted my hjt log as an attachment just as it said to do.

Your HJT log looks clean.

Just let HJT fix this entry.

Just a quick note - The system idle process cannot possibly hog resources on a PC. It's impossible. The figure you see next to system idle process is the amount of CPU NOT being used.

You are of course absolutely correct mate lol.

Thanks Spike.

I have noticed a noticable slowdown though after getting rid of a trojan and installing ZA.
I noticed some windows dont close immediately, instead they take a couple sceonds, and before they were instant.

Some sound issues have occured too after I did those things ^

First get rid of Zonealarm suite and use the free Zonealarm instead.

I don`t know what the sound issues are that you speak of, but reinstalling your sound drivers should fix that.

Download and run the Cleaner programme from HERE It`ll get rid of a lot of rubbish on your system.

Use msconfig to stop any startup items you don`t want or need.

Run a disk defrag.
