I use ZA Firewall with AVG7 AV on one HD with Win ME, and ZA Firewall with
Norton System Works 2005 AV on the other HD with Win XP Home.
Ohhhh, you meant "How about ZA Firewall with Anti-virus?", geez, nobody got
that?
My answer is about subscriptions and lost license keys that never came with the
product! I bought ZA 4 (installed last year onto the Win Me drive) and that
required a few updates to ZA 5.5 or something. Just recently, I tried to install
the ZA 4 CD onto the new Win XP drive, and it said my software was
expired...7/2003! So, my CD must be too damn old! I had to get a trial version
from our DSL provider, and that expires this fall. Will I buy a ZA 5 CD off the
shelf at Staples for $40, or will I renew the subscriptions on each hard drive
for $19.99 a piece? If I installed the ZA 5 CD on each HD, will the
registrations collide and void one or both installations? I don't know.
But I do know that I should NOT have a Norton Firewall! Norton products screw up
so much, (but not on the Win XP installation yet); I want to keep a lot of these
security products as different brands on the machine so if one product goes
down, it doesn't take 3 other critical security applications down with it.
However, I have heard that McAfee does not play well with Norton, so if you have
Norton anything, avoid McAfee, and vice-versa (will this story EVER change?).
I use ZA Firewall with AVG7 AV on one HD with Win ME, and ZA Firewall with
Norton System Works 2005 AV on the other HD with Win XP Home.

I am using 31,712k of RAM right now and zero CPU cycles. I am running

The vsmon usage varies with the ZA program you are using, I suppose.

It can use alot of memory, I find that if you leave a P2P client
running for a couple of hours vsmon will leak memory. For example, I
left eMule running all last night, and now vsmon as growen to use
161MB of RAM, I notice no lack of performance from my computer because
I have 1.5GB of RAM any way, but if you had 256MB of ram, that could
be a problem. The only aparent way to stop it using this amount of RAM
is to restart Zone Alarm.

When I posted yesterday, it had been about eight hours since I

When I posted yesterday, it had been about eight hours since I
had booted. It's now about two hours since I booted this morning,
and it's again just under 8MB.

Yes, mine has been booted for 7.5 hours now and Vsmon is now
at 20 Meg w/ peak at 22 Meg. It's risen by 9 Megabytes over the
past 3 hours. Can't see any appreciable change in other parameters
other than the page faults is in excess of 65K.

I just checked again--now five hours after booting. It's gone up
*very* slightly--now just over 8MB.

If your P2P is using 8 connections, that may be why ZA is using 8 times as much
RAM. (just a thought about an unknown). Thanks for the warning about RAM use on
this subject.
I had a problem with Logitech Desktop Messenger being blocked by ZA and the LDM
did not give up. My CPU cycles locked at 100% and my machine sounded like it was
going to explode. I had to uninstall LDM from Add/Remove Programs for each User.
