I've never found AVG to slow a system much either, what gets me about the
original post is that ZoneAlarm is slowing down the system..
The only thing I can think of is ZA is blocking spyware and others from
reaching the net and that is contributing in the slow down.

I've been a user of ZoneAlarm for years and have never seen a slowdown
happen on a clean system..

As far as Vet, I don't use an antivirus, I do run a stand alone tool (or
three),
once in awhile but they always come up clean for me, (three + years now)
