3.125 requires more memory
Written: Jul 26 '02 (Updated Jul 26 '02)
Pros:Good securtiy, easy of use.
Cons:Becoming bloated software, requires more memory now.
version 2.6.362 interface was better.
The Bottom Line: Avoid the new 3.125 unless you want to install bloated software. Get the older 2.6.362 version. It works fine and has the classic interface.
I've been using Zone Alarm (freeware) for a long time and like it a lot. But recently the new 3.125 version became available and I upgraded to it. After upgrading I noticed it now uses over 8MB of memory when loaded. The older 2.6.362 version only used 5MB.
Also the new version comes with a stupid new interface which is probably the reason of the higher memory requirements. Although you may think 3MB more is not much, but it does start to add up.
In the meantime, I "downgraded" to version 2.6.362, until ZoneLabs releases a newer version with the classic interface and lower resource(memory) requirements.
