| 425675 | 2006-01-31 06:36:00 | I've installed a trial version of TM PC-Cillin Internet Security 2005, checked Task manager and tmproxy.exe is using 100 MB of RAM...? I know some av / personal firewall products are hoggy (Norton in particular), but 100 MB?! I have 2GB RAM but I can't really see why it needs so much RAM. 2nd point: I've actually got a hardware firewall, Dynalink ADSL router, but thought I'd add a personal firewall for hacker attempts, antivirus obviously, anti-spyware etc. Opinions? PS: I've got a Linux guru friend who says you just don't need to run AV on it at all...? I've installed Suse and it's running fine sans av... |

| 425677 | 2006-01-31 09:01:00 | You have 2 Gigabytes of RAM, why are you worried? :D Also, try checking with others to verify that tmproxy.exe really belongs to Trend Micro. Done any anti-spyware / virus scanning of late? There are some malwares out there that purportedly use a legitimate file name as their own name. Cheers :) |

| 425678 | 2006-01-31 18:45:00 | I'm running PC-Cillin 2006 and it only uses about 9,236Kb. Not quite sure why 2005 would be using that much, I used to run 2002 and it never went over about 5Kb. Have you considered doing a re-install? Get feedback from other 2005 users and see if they have the same thing. cheers chiefnz |

| 425679 | 2006-01-31 21:16:00 | Im using 2005 and my tmproxy is using about 25000K I like pc-cillin, the only problem I have had is that I somehow ended up with 5Gbs of log files in 7 months, and i uninstalled virtually every other program trying to find the source of the disk space usage A tip for those using pc-cillin check the size of your trendmicro folder mine is now about 170mbs down from 5gbs Cheers |
