   Firewalls & AntiVirus programs will cause your pc to slow down majorly as they have to load when your system starts. The only way around this is to not use them. Unfortunately, that’s not a good answer for most people. If you want to try to disable them from starting up automatically and then you can start them manually do this:

   Click:

   Start
   Run

   Type MSCONFIG then Enter

   Click on the startup tab, then click DISABLE all.

   Apply
   OK
   Then restart the pc. That should speed it up.

   start>run>msconfig
   press enter
   now look at the startup tab
   this will list things that run at start up remove the ones you know you dont need like say AIM starts automatically un check that. but if you are not sure google the name and see if it is essential for the computer to run if not you can un check it it will make it so it doesn’t take for ever to start up.

   I think your problem might be Zone Alarm as I found it slowed down everything on my computer. Try disabling it (and your internet connection, just for safety) then restart your computer. If it boots up more quickly, get another firewall. I have always found McAfee to work satisfactorily.
