Yes, I understand, but my ZoneAlarm Free edition never exceeds 4,5 Mb :o
That’s much less than Sygate eats… some expensive dog… ;D
No Sasha, the ‘vsmon’ file just bellow in your picture is a ZoneLabs file too…
I think both ZA and Sygate give us a good protection. I used Sygate for just a little time but I think techie or Waldo uses Sygate. Oh, I forgot, for sure Culpeper uses it. They can say more than I.
You have such a good system to not worry about some Mb of memory useage… My suggestion is ZoneAlarm Free. ;D
Thanks my friend… I wondered what was vsmon file… no I know that too, thanks to you.
I’m not worried about my system like it will slow down or something because of firewall… it’s just, I always liked my things to be nice and neat. Sometimes I have to keep 3 or 4 very complex programs opened at the same time (Fireworks MX 2004, Dreamweaver MX 2004, Flash MX 2004, CorelDraw 11, etc., so you can imagine how much system resources does it takes… that’s why, I would like to have some “small” software firewall besides my hardware firewall…
Maybe I’ll try Sygate then, I’ll give it a try most likely…
Cheers !
I have yet to discover a more creative futuristic porfolio more skillfully crafted & well planned as this one of yours. You are to be congradulated in the most sincerest of terms. Its a very generous display of your talents, which probably come very easy for you. I had to comment in this fashion after touching on your link & visiting this amazing setup you have. Also, would you care to share the resource you display that notifies of each running program with accompanying memory hit. I have an older software somewhat similar but rarely use because it is cumbersome in its display. Thanks & keep up the fine work!

Thanks Skycomp for your generous comments… I’m affraid I didn’t catche your last one (…are to share the resource you display that notifies of each running program with accompanying memory hit…)
It would be great if you can explain it to me little bit more… thanks !
Cheers !
I gather you run Windows XP and i was referring to your posted screenshot in this thread, i understand your uncertainty & hopefully you can offer some suggestion where one could obtain a utility similar to this one in your screenshot. Thats all.
Sorry Skycomp, but you made misstake… I didn’t post any screenshot in this thread. That was BBFI’s post and his screenshot, not mine… that’s why I don’t know what you are talking about…
This is my screenshot… just click here:
CLICK ME !!!
Very well S.Z. Craftec, theres no mistake in the screenshot only to whom it originated from which you point out. I can’t for the life of me understand all the Hoopla over XP & those annoying almost childlike blue borders & icons. Yuck, no offense intended, but to each his own of course. As long as XP does the job for you go for it. Personally 98 will remain the Gold standard here, untill i can explore the Longhorn system upcoming soon, and even then may play this all out into the future relying on 98 since support will continue into 2006! Surely during this time to come other advances will be introduced. My 98 is warmly packed into a Highly Sophisticated setup complete with an entire arsenal to meet or greet the most learned of intruders, but i prefer to keep the system ports stealthed and lock down those susceptible to exploiters. Thanks for the reply! Enjoy! Keep up the good creative work, its a joy to review your craft.
i have got this weird problem with sasha’s addtional sounds…i unzipped those wav files and overwrite the original avast ones in C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ENGLISH
however…when i got a virus update…i heard a male voice!!!.. ??? ???
lol…went back to the folder and check…all the wav files are male voices… ???
i overwrite those files with sasha’s wav files…but the next update…i heard a male voice again!!!
this is strange… ??? ???
i overwrite the wav files 3 times…and this problem keeps reoccuring…
any idea why??
You are updating the program? Maybe the update change the files back to the original ones.
Extract the files into another folder, go to Windows Sounds settings and choose the files of Sasha. This will work (I hope) 
The problem is not in sounds… click here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=3146;start=msg22552#msg22552
and search for my first reply in that thread (or even better it’s good to read whole thread, so you’ll find out little bit more about how everything works). You’ll find explanation and solution for your problem. All sounds are always replaced by default ones after program update, but you can awoid that if you listen my advice and do like I wrote in that reply… I already helped to someone…
Cheers !
Sasha and I are talking about the same.
That thread (or mine here) has the solution for the problem:
[i]Go into your avast! anivirus directory. Make a new sub-directory for your new sounds. Save all those additional sounds from my package into that directory.
Go into Control Panel/sound properties and under avast! antivirus sound events, point the path for each and every sound to new sub-directory with new sounds you just created… remember ?
avast! will never change those settings again…[/i]
yes…both are the same…thks tech and sasha… ;D
Yes, that’s because Technical has quoted my explanation how to fix that “avast!-sounds-issue” from one of my recent posts… Anyway, the most important thing is that you can always count on us, and someone will always find some solution… 10 people are always more clever than just one man…
Cheers!
yes…thks a lot… ;D
Anyone know where I can obtain the original male voice and how to update the Avast5 software with it?
A tad annoyed that it was removed.
You can get it here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/0x3w3k Just double click the file and it will automatically change the sounds.
Also, Why are you still on avast 5? Update to avast 6: Avast GUI > Maintenance > click update program
