Browsing seems much better and I'm not seeing the CPU spikes like before. Thank you again. -

Progress! I talked with ZA support. I cleaned the system of ZA, disabled startup and service programs (except I hid all microsoft service programs first). And then the wireless worked. Then I had to download SP2 and downloaded the latest ZA program. Thank you for all the time you spent working me through this problem. -

ZA has been removed from the system and the wireless is still not working. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling awhile. -

This was probably told to me already but want to make sure of what I'm doing. Once ZA is removed, what should be installed in place of it for a firewall and antivirus? thanks -

I understand. Would turning it off be sufficient? But I had already tried that and it didn't help. -

When I ran the manual diagnostics tool for the wireless I get the following for the ping test: no response DHCP Server -

I just got online by hooking up an ethernet cable. At least that works. I've tried so many things my head is spinning. Turned off ZA and tried in case it was blocking the wireless. Nada. I've repaired it. I've run dignostics. It tells me windows won't even try running diagnostics any longer. I think windows is frustrated too. Used the device to search for drivers on the net and it says everything is up to date and working properly. I ran the wireless diagnostics tools. Everything passed except the ping test. Its almost as if a setting has been turned off that doesn't allow the final connection to take place. -

I'm still struggling with this. Haven't been able to change the browser yet. My wireless network adapter is having some kind of issue again an won't allow me to connect. Have uninstalled and reinstalled the adapter and windows says it is working correctly. I'm attempting an earlier restore point to see what happens. -

Thanks for the info and I'll go over it tonight. Will try the ZA uninstall too. -

Thank you for hanging in there with me. I'm back on line with the affected laptop. Windows Defender had nothing in the quarantine window and a scan came up nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled two network devices and that didn't work. Then I went to an earlier restore point from several day ago and that worked to get back online. When I looked at the updates and downloaded them, I think a regular windows update also happened. Its starting to all run together so I'm think that that was the cause, not the windows defender update. Maybe I just need to get rid of this vista system... -

I'm posting from my phone. I had downloaded the latest security updates for windows defender and now I can't get on the web. It keeps telling me there is an issue with my network adaptor. I'm connected but with little connectivity or something like that. Will find another computer where I can download the Realtek driver. Tried a previous restore point to undo the download but it didn't help. -

Chrome was installed and there was no difference. There is spiking of the CPU usage when no browser is open and ZA is on. Just noticed that after ZA was turned off and MSSE is on tand IE is open that there is less spiking. The end of that cut-off post was supposed to be deleted. I'm not sure where to find the RAM speed. Is MSSE a satisfactory firewall? I thought it was lacking and thats why I went to ZA. Is this the page to download it? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials My Windows Security Center shows the only anti-virus I have is via ZA. But the above site shows MSSE as having anti-virus. Just wanted to double check before I go and download it. thanks Btw, email notifications for this thread are not working for some reason. -
