Oh, I'm sorry. Maybe later I'll put Outpost back on, but I'm not sure. I've been trying different firewalls because ZAP has a problem with TH Guard.
Re:new leaktest available : Ghost v1.0 I don't want to go into it much because it's off-topic, but vsmon has CPU spikes when TH Guard is enabled.
Re:new leaktest available : Ghost v1.0 Bah, this is the 'other firewalls' forum. sure, the thread topic may be 'ghost v1.0' leaktest, but I doubt they won't mind - I think we're safe Besides, I can MAKE it on-topic! So now let's just say: "U were using ghost v1.0 when you saw a CPU spike caused by TH & vsmon." - Did CPU usage reach 100% ? - When you say 'spike', does it mean a "split-second" spike, or a peak that lasts a few seconds? The latter would be far more disturbing...
Re:new leaktest available : Ghost v1.0 Vsmon spikes into the teens or 20s in CPU every 10 seconds or so for just for a second when TH Guard is running. When TH Guard is off, it stays at 2-5. Ghost had no effect.
Re:new leaktest available : Ghost v1.0 Hmmm... no such problems here - stays around 2-3%, peaks are RARE (less than one/minute) and last about 1/10th of a second - or a fraction of a second, ie. instantaneous of the human scale - these are probably due to vsmon only. I have ZA, TH & Nod32 (plus P2P app & other apps) running on Win2k+SP4. What R your specs? Uusing Win9x? Win2k? WinXP?
Thanks for making it into a new topic. I'm on Windows XP Home. What does your CPU spike to for vsmon, Morgoth?
Darn, my post went into oblivion, must be the thread splitting or sometin... So as I wuz saying (...): It's "mirco-peaks", more like: up to 8-9%, every 2 minutes or so. Or sometimes up to 30%, but very occasionally, and these are most likely not related even to vsmon. Remember, there's a far more unstable "app" lying beneath, it's called Windows And we all know how fickle Microsh*t Windows is... And as I said, in any case, peaks are instantaneous, thus have near-null impact on system
It is the the vsmon CPU that can go up to 30 every 10 seconds or so, for about a second - total CPU usage can go to near 50 during spikes.
I was talking about the global CPU load only, so vsmon must be even less. Anyways, I don't have this vsmon/TH prob, so it may be due to a combination of vsmon+TH+WinXP+Bad luck, who knows... Could also be due to the TH & vsmon versions you're using. I have the latest of both: ZA 4.5 & TH 3.7.
Someone offered to give me an older version of THGuard - we'll see what happens. I have the same versions you do.
