    Hi,
    
    I did some testing and the problem continues. Here you can see some Task
    Manager screenshots of the processes.
    
    Please note that zonealarm.exe is eating up an average of 4K of memory
    every 1 or 2 seconds.

    |I have the same version of ZoneAlarm, on the same OS,  and the 
    |memory usage on mine is only at 6.660 KB after being up for a 
    |number of days.
    |
    |I checked this on two computers.
    |
    |Note that when I installed 3.1.291 I performed a clean install 
    |-- perhaps the issue only occurs when you perform an upgrade?
