Zone Alarm = biggest RAM hog ever

[ShawnD1]

Something is seriously wrong with Zone Alarm. Just look at this picture.



Zone Alarm takes 160mb of RAM? WTF???

For those of you who run this program and notice considerable lag on your computer, your might want to check if Zone Alarm is doing it.

VSMON only uses about 9000K on my computer, and the zone alarm application itself uses about 3000K....

Not sure what u got going on there.

I bet reinstalling Zone Alarm wouldn't be a bad idea, and last time I checked, Mcafee AV was the biggest hog

You can get a free version of kerio personal firewall. IMO it is better than zone alarms (it has more options too).
