I've had about 4 of those symptoms so I'm pretty sure its Zone Alarm...The page suggests downgrading to v4.5 but is that as secure as v6.5?
What happens is i leave a torrent and come back and vsmon.exe process will have crashed and stopped Zone Alarm running at all. Has anyone else had this and managed to configure it to stop this happening?
I use Kaspersky AntiVirus & have so for many years, not once has it let me down, I've been reluctant to experiment with their firewall "Kaspersky Anti-hacker" so far, but without a doubt it'll hold its own because its from Kaspersky labs.
I've thoroughly tested ZA/Kerio/Comodo firewalls with several leak tests & process injections, all of them knock up top marks. Comodo personal firewall is a beauty for freeware, I've been running it for a little while now, love it :-)
