Ever since i got the new ZoneAlarm security suite, my computer has been running like crap. I cant play Source games at all, nor flash in browsers, and even old games like Driver 1 (yes, ONE) lag a bit.
Naturally, in my investigation in to the cause of this, i checked my processes list, and was shocked to find what i did.
For someone with as little RAM as me, this is completely mad.
That shot was taken while my computer was idling.
ZoneAlarm wasn't scanning for viruses or spyware, that's just its background check. 40mb of RAM for a constant background check?! Bullshit!
Does anyone have ideas on how i can reduce the ammount of RAM my processes are taking up? I really dont want to get rid of the new ZoneAlarm suite. It's very good in all other respects.
edit:I should also point out that the other processes surrounding the 2 scanningprocesses never used as much RAM before i got ZoneAlarm, which makes no sense what-so-ever
