ZoneAlarm 6.5.700 versions released

[jupe]

WHAT!? I hope your joking, it slows my system to a crawl and vsmon.exe is the most memory hogging, largest running process on my computer bar full size apps. It takes up more memory than explorer! I've been looking for an alternative for ages but loads seem to be going un-supported or are just as memory hogging. Anyway, I hope this update fixes the issues with the privacy settings not working atall.

what you want to use is Outpost 3.51 i was a huge fan of ZoneAlarm back in version 5 but when it went to 6 it was so slow and to bloated so i made the swap hesitently but i've never had my computer run so good.

Well, at the moment, vsmon.exe and zlclient.exe are collectively taking about 17MB, which IMO is not alot at all (infact, Winamp is taking more memory). And when I start up Windows, ZoneAlarm starts in the taskbar almost straight away, unlike Norton (which I used to have), which DID slow down my system and took ages to start. Like I said, I barely even notice it, my system is pretty much unaffected by it, so when I say it's light on resources, it IS from my experience.

How much ram do you guys have? My computer has 1gb of ram, and i never have a problem. ****ing hell, look at the program that is using the most memory right now(FIREFOX!)

lmao, what do you think 'vsmon.exe', at 41 MB of memory, belongs to? :whistle:

Granted, you may have a lot of RAM, so this wouldn't matter much.

I am still on good old 5.5.094.000 :D

I have version 6.1.744.001 and it says my firewall's up to date. Can I get 6.5.700 from those trial links without losing my subscription?

ZoneAlarm is way ahead of any other apps ou there ;)

Agreed, but unless they can acknowledge, address and fix the stability issues on what seems to be many peoples computers, i dont think they'll grow their userbase much.

Don't get me wrong, i'd LOVE to use it, and i#ve had a few computers i've tried it on, but it caused different kinds of problems on all of them. For now i'm stuck with crappy Mcafee which helpfully tells me i have a virus, but unfortunately can't remove it - how useful!

I use ZA, 6.1 versions, its an awesome program, security freaks but its a good overall program, i should get this new one I like the idea of alerts not popping up when playing games.

just updated mine and never had to re-input my code thing

Have has no problems with it whatsoever, well except for one small odd one that only happened for a little while. I moved a shortcut in my quicklaunch bar around, and on reboot, back to where it was, happened several reboots in a row, but seems fine now. I assume it was ZoneAlarm that caused it cause I can't ever remember that happening before. But other then that, all good, no problems at all.

Well I installed without issues. My subscription to NOD32 ran out, so I figured I'd give this a trial run. Not to bad so far actually. Certainly not as good as NOD32, but not to bad either.
