Well, i am using ZA 6.5.714(the latest one). Been using it since ZA 5. Few days ago, i updated my ZA to 6.5.714. FYI, i am using ZA security suite. Since then, my ZA has been quite weird. It has been using enormous amount of physical and virtual memory. Initially, when i start my pc, ZA will just occupy approximately 30MB of physical memory and it will gradually increase as time passes . You can take a look at my screenshot below:



Guys, is this normal? And, any of you experiencing this problem? For my pc specs, refer to my sig.

i see memory leak prob, a serious one

just like what firefox has

try uninstall ZA and then perform clean install

ZA Security Suite has Anti-virus protection, I believe. Maybe it is because of its Real-Time Monitoring?(or maybe it has no RTM??) If not, yeah, it is a serious Memory Leak...

Yup, It's bundle with anti-virus as well as anti-spyware. I have not experience this problem when i'm using ZA 6. Since upgrading to the latest version, it becomes crazy memory eater . ZA is no doubt a very good firewall but this problem is just taking all the system resources. And, ZA anti-virus has on-access scanning. Not sure this is the problem though. The worst case is that when it uses 500000 and 900000 of physical and virtual memory(worst ever recorded) respectively, my pc will become sluggish. To rectify this problem, i have no choice but to close and restart ZA. This makes it very troublesome. Anyway, any ZA 6.5.714 users out there facing this problem too?

Im using ZoneAlarm too, and since upgrading, I noticed it blocks certain servers on IRC. How can I disable it?

It seems latest problem got a lot problems....just google it...and you'll find plenty of errors where ppl post like that

Yup, agree with GameSky. I did a clean installation with ZA 6.5.722 but the memory leak problem still persists . I even try googling "Memory Leak ZoneAlarm" and find lot's of people having the same problem . I think it's just up to Zonelabs to fix this bug when the next update release.

Open your ZA. Go to "IM security". Click the "Settings" tab and then click the the "Advanced" button below. Uncheck the "Block IRC" option and click "OK".

Obviously, ZA is making the same mistake made by MS.(which is never test their programs or patches for it to be perfect before circulation. SWEAT!!!) If so, try to find for previous releases, and unistall this buggy version. Good Luck. (btw, I am not facing this problem, wonder why....)
