My PC was running really slow and hanging. I used to run Zone Alarm Free and BOClean. I read some posts saying CFP was much better protection so decided to give it a try. All was well for a couple of weeks and then internet and email opening would hang and take forever to open. Last program installed was CFP. I uninstalled and tried going back to Zone Alarm Free. The d/l was fine but got errors on the install, could not find some dll file and True Vector could not start. I tried the install from ZA, Major Geeks, Bleeping Computer and one other that I do not remember. I was thinking I got a bad d/l at first, but then after so many attempts, there was something else going on> I turned off the computer after enabling the Windows Firewall. I though it over for a day and tried again with same results. I know not to go without Security so I reinstalled CFP. Slow and hanging again. I uninstalled BOClean which had worked fine for a couple of months. Everything went back to normal again. My question is why could I not reinstall ZA, and what happened to BOClean that caused it to start having issues?

Now that you mention it, I wonder if it was BOClean causing an issue on my brother’s computer last night: screen went black and froze. Well, that would be another topic for the CBAM board.
I have to admit that anything is possible but I did follow your suggestions regarding turning off Monitoring DLL injections. I am no longer having issues since BOClean was uninstalled, but maybe it was the reinstall of CFP that cleared out the logs. It has only been 2 days. I am confused as to why something is included that uses 100% CPU, but I am not a programmer. Just a nobody trying to figure out some issues.
I read over Kevin’s explanation that he recommends to stick with CBAM 4.22 for now. That would explain some things. As far as CFP 2.4 goes with cpu issues, version 3 alpha seems to have this covered from what I’ve gathered in the Beta Corner.
I will keep watching and wait for the posts on 4.24 before trying it again. It could be incompatibility with other programs. I left a few out of the list. IESPYAD, Spywaregaurd, SpywareBlaster, and Trojan Remover.
