ZoneAlarm Pro TrueVector

Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls (More info?)

My vsmon.exe shows about 8.5Mb at the moment. Not sure if it is related or
not, but I know the tvDebug file can grow to astronomical proportions. In
XP, disable ZoneAlarm. Then go to C:\WINDOWS\Internet Logs and delete
tvDebug.log if it is excessively large. Then fire up ZA again. Currently
mine is about 500K.

Yep, mine is 6.56 (6,565 kb with a log file of 16,672 kb
100 meg of ram would cripple your system, unless you have almost a gig
of ram

You've got a lot more patience than I do, if I had any program using 100
meg of ram from my system, I'd find another to replace it in a hurry.

Hi

Like the other posters I can't believe that ZAP uses that much memory on
your system, my vsmon only uses about 10Mb. The only thing that makes ZAP
use lots of memory, in my experience, is running p2p programs - it tends to
think the normal p2p connections are 'attacks' and will consume tons of
memory and cpu cycles.

I'm afraid I can't offer any suggestions but as you have the paid-for
version have you contacted Zonelabs for support? You could also ask your
question in the Zonelabs forums here http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs and
see if anyone can help.

Regards

Bill
