this makes me sad. especially since I only have Winamp, Outlook Express, and SeaMonkey (the browser formerly known as Mozilla) open. ;-;

I used to get results like that. Then I turned off my Firewall.

Actually, I’m reasonably certain that it’s somehow related to the fact that I’m running a pre‐alpha, nightly build of SeaMonkey and I installed Tabbrowser Extensions (http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/tabextensions/index.html.en). I swear, that extension gets more and more bug‐ridden every time I look at it. But I love the pretty tab features. ._.

But, yeah, SM was using about 260MB of memory before I closed it, plus the overhead for the ~800 handles and >1,000 GDI objects... Nightly buidls suck, but they’re the only way to get certain features right now. ;-;

VSMon (ZoneAlarm's daemon program) sometimes gets up into the 200 MB range when I start opening too many tabs or online applications. And to make matters more annoying, they added some code that makes it impossible to kill the process without going through ZoneAlarm (I always get so much satisfaction out of ctrl+alt+del-ing offending programs..)

This is but one among numerous reasons that I ignore ZoneAlarm. Haven’t installed it in over four years, haven’t found any need or desire to use it in almost five. (I maintain that the router/firewall is one of the best computer purchases we’ve ever made. Even if the D-Link is utter shit compared to the now‐dead Linksys.)

linksys is not dead, it is the residential line of cisco products now.

Which is why I said the Linksys—i.e., our Linksys router ate itself many moons ago. And I really liked the damned thing, too.
