combofix.exe reports my Zone Alarm Extreme security Antivirus/Spyware software is still monitoring, even though I've shut down the software. Should I run the program in safe mode?
Phishing emails virus, need help to remove

No, don't run it in safe mode.
You need to disconnect from the internet (unplug your modem), then go into services ... type services.msc in the start search box. Now set all Zone Alarm Extreme security Antivirus lines to 'disable' and stop the service .... DO NOT connect to the Internet while this is disabled!!
Once you have the Combofix text log, save it to your desk top. You can enable all ZA services, then reconnect to the Inernet and post the log back here.

Unfortunately, it won't let me disable the TrueVector Internet Monitor (Zone Alarm). I cannot stop or disable the service. What should I do?

Or, try this:
1Right-click the task bar.
2Click "Start Task Manager."
3Click "Processes." Under the "Description" column, look for the listing for "Zone Alarm Firewall." The "True Vector Internet Monitor" is part of a larger program called "Zone Alarm." Disabling "Zone Alarm" will disable "True Vector Internet Monitor."
4Click the listing for "Zone Alarm Firewall."
5Click "End Process" to disable the "True Vector Internet Monitor" -- along with its larger parent program, "Zone Alarm" -- on your computer.

Okay. Tried disabling a few items in msconfig, including Zone Alarm...didn't work, but I disabled something, and now somehow the computer is about 10x faster than it was before. Including, somehow, my internet. That's really really weird.
Both logs are attached, though HijackThis threw an error. I can post it if necessary.

Jacee.
I read through this whole thread, and was very interested, and then it stopped.
I see that you put a lot of effort into it.
I guess that your advice fixed it...or, he just got tired, or he got a new computer and didn't want a Zombie anymore.
