If you are running a freeware firewall for Windows, can you please post
the name, version, and how much memory it uses? Thanks!

Wipfw v0.27 (self-compiled and optimized on speed) - about 180 KB of
code and 300 KB of data

Now what's the point of your question? Memory utilization on
Windows-based SOHO firewalls isn't any issue.

Do you have 8GB+ RAM in your PC? :P

It is _virtual_ memory size. It means if you don't have an x64 system
and not RAM+swapfile being larger than 8 GB, ZoneAlarm may malfunction
(well, that's its purpose).

Anyway, this discussion was about firewalls and not about random network
upfuckers. BTW, don't you think that this is a bit too much memory for
a simple malicious program?

too much for what? this is 2006 , a little ole grannies computer from k-mart
has
a gig of ram and 700 Meg of physical free 96% of the time , not being used
120 gig hd,virtual memory uses disk at 10 meg a cent, but 70% is empty, not
being used
the difference between 1k or 100 meg mostly squatting on hd is a few cents a
year,
not worth the time to do a properties and read the result
not even worth the time to calculate it

if granny can't use it most of the world probably can't

What a lame excuse. "format.com" is merely 30KB in size and cleanly
wipes file system metadata. Many good trojan horse merely consume 150 KB
and include a lot of infectors and spreading routines. Now why does ZA
need so much code and memory for such a simple task like ****ing up the
system?

Huh? Even "fc.exe" can easily suck it up all the way.

Unless they're changing to Symantec Norton.
