Default 100% Firefox CPU Usage Firefox

Prevx still has 100% CPU usage when it blocks a malicious URL.

We haven't been able to reproduce this - could you let me know what other security software you're using? I suspect it may be a clash with a firewall that is trying to filter content that Prevx is blocking.

Could you let me know exactly what version of ZoneAlarm you're using? We've been testing with ZA IS 2010 without problems so far.

I have been seeing the same problem with 100% Firefox cpu use. It goes for a couple of minutes and effectively stops anything else from running. I have been blaming firefox because that is what task manager reports as using the cpu. It may have gone away with yesterday's Prevx update. That update did appear to fix a problem I was having with screen response.
