You don't say whether a clean install or upgrade.
No hardware specs to see if your computer is capable of running Vista
properly.
We don't know what applications you are running.

You don't say what you have scanned your System with.
There are many applications to find different kinds of infections,
spyware, Malware, Keyloggers.

Post a proper question.

"freezes so many of us are enduring with Vista?"
Exact number please!

This guy has been asking the same question in several groups for the
last couple of days. We all answer him, but he chooses to ignore our
advice. He needs to uninstall ZoneAlarm until they fix the bug that
traps these programs and won't allow killing them.

What BUG is trapping the programs and stopping Task manager from working
and causing the lockups? I did remove Zone Alarm this morning, but you
failed to tell me what to replace it with that monitors crap trying to
phone home. MS firewall allows anything and everything to connect to the
net.

ZoneAlarm traps programs (notably web browsers and email clients) by
holding them in the 'system' area which prevents 'user' programs such as
Task Manager and Process Explorer from killing them. In the ZA forum,
there are quite a few posts pertaining to this particular bug. They
appear to be working on it, but haven't come up with a solution yet.
