find out why ingoing traffic meter completely full

Dear ng,
I'm working under XP SP2 and having Zone Alarm Pro 7 as firewall.
My question is that the ingoing traffic meter (green) sometimes gets
completely full. When this happens the computer gets extremely slow. I would
like to find out what happens. Unfortunately, when the ingoing traffic meter
is completely full, nothing happens when I doubleclick it. Help very much
appreciated.
Regards, Marcel

Zone Alarm is no firewall. It's a host-based packet filter, and a pretty
lousy and insecure one.

Use a kernel debugger. If a known-bogus software like Zone Alarm goes mad,
they cause might be indefinitely stupid.

Maybe you should also simply uninstall this toy. Why did you even install it
in first place? I presume you're mature enough to not play around with toys.

WinDbg or Syser

At any rate, there's no use to it.
