when you turn off your firewall make sure your firefox or ie browser is closed as well. Just so a nasty virus doesn't get in. It happened to me recently had a svchost.exe at 100% cpu usage issue.

you don't have comcast do you?
More than likely your windows svchost file going through the OS updating check, turn it off or just kill the process.Quote:

Aeyen just take bits and pieces from all are posts. If you need any more help, just post in here, or you can pm me and probably everyone in here who has posted a reply.Quote:

at this point i really think you shouldn't worry so much about your firewall settings. afterall, it's relatively painless to setup, except perhaps for the first few days. have you tried turning ZA off like a few have suggested?
mabey there isnt enough lichers...
There are ALOT of leechers, and I tried turning ZA off, nothing works, I even tried at some point of time disabling all firewalls and security programs (even windows firewall) and nothing even worked...
