My Problem was mostly with ZoneAlarm which I removed and installed Tiny Firewall test for now, now no resource hogging, but I have Avast error only upon upgrade. Error 87 cannot provide protection for SMTP and NNTP Incoming, Outgoing, and News protection. I guess some problem with Tiny Firewall, also it crashes Ewido resident scanner.
AVAST seems to work straight now, I guess all had not started correctly last time. I get everything working smoothly. I have not read your other post yet.
