722900 2008-11-25 09:14:00 Running Zone Alarm pro ( update around 10 days ago) and getright..

Everything has been working okay for the last few years regarding these two bits of software.

Then I noticed PC was crawling along at certain times and CPU was at 100%...Then noticed that vsmon.exe(Zone Alarm) appeared to be kicking in at certain times and everytime it did the CPU went to 100%...and the PC crawled along.

Then realised tonight, every time I use Getright to download a file, vsmon.exe does its thing and kicks up into 5th gear hogging the CPU etc etc.
Pause the download and vsmon.exe goes back to zero as does CPU..

Is this a conflict or is vsmon.exe actually trying to do something useful here?

Any tips greatfully accepted.

If you don't use a email client such as Outlook/OE or Thunderbird, then this could help you by simply disabling what vsmon (checking incoming mail basically) does:
