vsmon.exe - part of zonealarm goes upto about 70% cpu usage when a torrent is actively downloading.

Has anyone worked out a way around this?

I am a basic user so simple solutions necessary plz!

Re: Zonealarm and utorrent

You swapped one resource hog for another? Good call.

Re: Zonealarm and utorrent

at least AVG didn't give me any problems compared to zonealarm and i hardly notice AVG in the background

Re: Zonealarm and utorrent

I had problems with vsmon.exe before. do a search on Google and that should bring up some people that have solved that issue. Personally tho, I'm quite happy with Windows Firewall these days and don't even bother with 3rd party ones. (see other thread)

Re: Zonealarm and utorrent

why use zonealarm when you or Os provides the default one ?
