Re: ScanningProcess.exe

Donna,
It seems from your post, that the problem is such that you cannot go on
like this.

It is not normal to have this happen and would greatly impede your "browsing
experience".

To be without any anti-virus software, however, that scans for threats in real-time,
is very hazardous indeed.

However, to have two such types of anti-virus software installed can cause serious
conflicts and can render your web browser incapable of connecting to the internet.

If this is causing such a drain on system resources, I would seriously consider
disabling or uninstalling the program responsible (Rogers Online Protection).

You should then install some other Anti-Virus software that has resident (or
real-time) protection.

One very good (and free) one is AVG Antivirus - you could use this while you consider
purchasing an anti-virus suite (although, I find AVG perfectly adequate).

Thanks for the suggestion Tim

I don't have ZoneAlarm installed on my computer but your comment about the
firewall makes me think that is something that Rogers Online Protection has
installed to support their firewall version. I disabled it but it still scans
and I cannot change the priority. I guess I will write to them

Cheers

The program called scanningprocess.exe belongs to ZoneAlarm.

Personally, I wouldn't use an extra Firewall program as I think the one built-in
to
Win XP is perfectly adequate.

I'd just uninstall ZoneAlarm - problem solved!

Help it is driving me crazy, every time I turn on my computer this program
starts running and takes about 20 minutes to finish almost bringing my
computer to a halt. It is located in the system files and takes about 50,000k
of mem usage and about 10 to 15% of CPU.

I have a virus scanner by rogers .com and I removed defender because Im
tired of the some type of scan going on. Could someone tell me what it is
doing or how I could reduce the frequency of it running. Also there is
apparently a priority setting that could be change but a warning comes across
about affecting the system's stability. Any insight would be helpful, thanks!
