No infections of any kind can be found on this PC, yet MSMail, MozillaFF
and IE7 lock up constantly. How can this be fixed short of a reformat
and reinstall of the OS? Vista has been as unstable as W98 for us. Is
there any way to get it as stable as XP? Does anyone know what causes
these constant W98 type freezes so many of us are enduring with Vista?

Are you learning impaired? This answser has been given to you many times
yet you still ask the same question. What par of:

UNINSTALL ZONEALARM

Don't you understand?

What part of I did uninstall it and am still waiting for you to recommend
another firewall that blocks unwanted outgoing connections.



I used to recommend ZA because of its outward protection, I've more
recently become convinced that outward protection is an illusion. Once
one of the nasties gets into your computer, it can essentially do
whatever it wants, including circumventing the firewall. So the extra
protection that a firewall that monitors outbound traffic provides is
more apparent than real.
