Why is it when something isn't running on their own computer people assume it doesn't run on anyones?
Because this is a fresh install of Windows 7. Just a few apps, so pretty vanilla.

According to your other post, Zonealarm and Avira are not your typical, usual apps. They do things to the system. Weird things. Follow your other post for possible solutions. That's the smart thing to do. And read the first post in that thread to keep up to date with any changes.

Hopefully the user is not running the anti-viral versions of ZoneAlarm and Avira at the same time. I thought everyone knew running two anti-viral programs at the same time is a terrible idea and causes issues without VirtualBox ever being installed.

Yes, Zonealarm Firewall only.

Ok, I'll hold tight and keep reading.
