How much memory does your firewall use?

some may have a hard time telling you because these run as services...

ZA 2.6.88, 3412 MB in memory (plus the true vector service of 3980 MB).

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).

So I can't type...so change the "MB" to KB" :)

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 f****ng up the system?

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

There's a difference?

Unless they're changing to Symantec Norton.

SCNR, VB.

Firewalls only deterministically f*ck up networks, and you can hold the configurator responsible. ;-)

What a shibboleth.
