Help---My Firewall keeps turning of automatically

Hello.

You are running more than one AV (antivirus), this is a bad idea as they can conflict and cause problems. I see Avira - Zonealarm - Norton.
I would recommend that you remove Zonealarm and Norton to avoid conflict and other future problems.

Go to Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs.

• Adobe Reader 8.1.2
  
• Norton Security Scan
  
• Norton Security Scan (Symantec Corporation)
  
• ZoneAlarm Security Suite
  

I see you have VLC player installed. You are running an old versions and needs updating.

Download and install VLC Player 0.9.9
When installing, it will ask if you want to uninstall the old version first before it can install the new version, so please select yes and allow it to install.

Then download and install Adobe Reader 9.1

Let me know how the machine is running after you have done all that.

it's running a little faster than before.

One question before i delete Zone Alarm. I do not have Zone Alarm Antivirus installed..i only use their firewall as my Avira Antivirus is the free one and that does not have firewall...do u still want me to uninstall it?

Hello.
I see differently. DDS tells me this:

AV: ZoneAlarm Security Suite Antivirus *On-access scanning disabled* (Outdated)

If you want a firewall, I recommend Comodo/Kerio. So yes, uninstall it.

ok i will

Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer in order to prevent future malware infections. Please take these recommendations seriously; these few simple steps can stave off the vast majority of spyware problems. As happy as we are to help you, for your sake we would rather not have repeat customers.

1) Please navigate to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download all the "critical updates" for Windows. This can patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer.

Please either enable Automatic Updates under Start -> Control Panel -> Automatic Updates , or get into the habit of checking for Windows updates regularly. I cannot stress enough how important this is.

2) In order to protect yourself against spyware, you should consider installing and running the following free programs:

Ad-Aware SE
A tutorial on using Ad-Aware to remove spyware from your computer may be found here.

Spybot-Search & Destroy
A tutorial on using Spybot to remove spyware from your computer may be found here. Please also remember to enable Spybot's "Immunize" and "TeaTimer" features.

SpywareBlaster
A tutorial on using SpywareBlaster to prevent spyware from ever installing on your computer may be found here.

SpywareGuard
A tutorial on using SpywareGuard for realtime protection against spyware and hijackers may be found here.

Make sure to keep these programs up-to-date and to run them regularly, as this can prevent a great deal of spyware hassle.

3) Please consider using an alternate browser. Mozilla's Firefox browser is fantastic; it is much more secure than Internet Explorer, immune to almost all known browser hijackers, and also has the best built-in popup blocker (as an added benefit!) that I have ever seen. If you are interested, Firefox may be downloaded from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
I also recommand the following add-ons for Firefox, they will help keep you safe from malicious scripts or activeX exploits.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433

4) Also make sure to run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep it up-to-date.

To help you keep your software updated, please considering using this free software program that will check for program updates.
Update Checker

5) Finally, consider maintaining a firewall. Some good free firewalls are Kerio, or
Outpost
A tutorial on understanding and using firewalls may be found here.
