    [for power users] Try to disable most app started at boot time by Autoruns from Sysinternals and check and stop/disable unnecessary system services. Maybe some conflict is existing.

    Also watch CPU load in Program Explorer again from Sysinternals.

    Did you use Microsoft ActiveSync (for PDA)? SPF is incompatibile with this...

    And maybe you have some malware/virus/trojan on PC...

    SPF - bad czech accent/diacritics and much more
    Good day,

    Please reply on!

    I tried a new version of Sunbelt Personal Firewall 4.6.1861 and I stumbled across a few problems.

    In short, descriptions of rules with Czech accent does not work and do the problems and thus can not normally export configuration. Especially for one that is taken from an older version of KPF (?).

    Second, and I quote this post:
    ----------
    Export configuration work for me again! :) I fix the "Error generating digest for the config file." message!

    Try to remove ALL diacritics chars from Names of Connections in Network Security / Trusted area / Description column and also remove all diacritics chars from Description in Network Security / Applications / Packet filter... / IP Groups / Group name column.

    Tested on Sunbelt Personal Firewall version 4.6.1861 with spf.cfg file copied from previous version 4.5.916.
    Export configuration was also malfunctioning in version 4.5.916. Probably for the identical reason.

    Before diacritics removing some high (100%) CPU load by SbPFCl.exe was observed ...
    ----------

    Here is the problem with the export of words, more precisely about the creation of a control total export file.

    In addition, the problem is that in a previous version (some even in Kerio) was created rules with an accent in popiscích "Application Behavior Blocking" in the "Applications". The export configuration can see the effort to letters with accents. One rule is clearly stated 2x, with a good one and the second is zmršenou accent.
    In the configuration it is because column "Application" empty (the name is not there) and when you try to delete the invalid rules and confirmation "Apply" and / or "OK" and the subsequent reopening of the defective configuration window rule remained remove!

    Unfortunately I was not the way it is generated checksum exported configuration to a defective rules to modify / delete manually recalculate the checksum, and then corrected import rules ...

    Can you please provide a tool to generate a "Digest" in the updated file, or at least to specify the details?
    I think this could be SHA1. I tried deleting perhaps a combination of all config tag, but without success.

    Even minor bug found in the Czech version. For example, in the window "Network Security" taboo in the "Application" is the header column "description" something a lot left.

    And she is (unfortunately) almost everywhere problem in Czech. I hoped that it will be in the next version finally corrected, but it is not.
    Examples:
    * "List" / "Preferences", click "Zjistit teď", where "ď" is wrong
    * Similarly, in the name of a trusted network (Network Security / Trusted) put such as "ř", as well as an overview adapter is wrong caption.
    * Likewise, in the name of the group IP addresses (see the post citation).
    * For the "Network Security" / "Application" / column "description" when it is set to show "Show the name of the application" -> "Description". Typically, the ill-shows "Příkazový řádek systému Windows".

    !!!!!!!!!
    If you have Import / Export / editing tool for working with the exported configuration, for example, to remove the problematic characters and the conversion of "Digest", so please its provision.
    !!!!!!!!!

    Yours sincerely
