OK, I know lots of folks have issues like this, but I have yet to find a solution after hours of searching, and getting quite the headache. My Zonealarm never turns itself off anymore. There is a constant (every 30 seconds) svchost activity out to my ISPs IP address. I've turned off lots of services, ran Ad Aware AND Spybot, and have McAfee updated. What the hell is happening, and is it an issue. This started a few weeks ago. Is there a way to see exactly what file is using svchost? ZA is fairly useless in that respect. There are 5 or 6 running, but ZA doesn't tell you why or who they are. MAybe ZA Pro does? Any help would be greatly appreciated Rastus O'Ginga Rastus O'Ginga Winner of the 2nd Annual C.
