Hi,
You're kind of in a bind:
1) You need to stay with the latest version possible, in order to be best
protected from all those Trojans and viruses that try to shutdown firewall
and antivirus software.
2) The later the version, the more security, so the more processing going
on, the more resources, that kind of circle. As far as resources, you're
much better off staying with a more secure later version, and reboot the
server every 2-3 days or whatever it needs to keep it from getting too
unmanageable.
ZAP 3 also added numerous other features too. I'd turn off Privacy
settings in addition to MailSafe. Make sure you set the alerts to show only
50 at a time, those are stored in memory (when I fill up my test machine set
to 999, it sucks up memory). One other trick that worked on some systems,
if you open ZAP, then minimize to taskbar, then reopen, then close so it
goes back to just system tray, that sometimes releases more memory.

Thanks.
I did already know that it is not supported on servers. But since I cannot
afford
server editions of some utilities, firewalls and anti-virus, I do what I
can. I am
sure you understand. Meanwhile, I have not had any problems in the past.
This is the first update I have done since 2.6, which always ran fine.
But, I was breached the other day and have no idea how, so thought
maybe an update might help. I rebooted my computer and it asked to reconnect
tp another IP address at its root drive C$. I cancelled and it said that
Firedaemon could not be found. I have no idea how I was breached this
way and cannot find and info which will eplain it. If you know anything
I would appreciate it, so I can protect myself. FireDaemon was not running
as a service, but was there, even though I do not know what it is doing
there.
I disabled it and found its executeable and made it inaccessible even to me.
As for mailsafe. I do not use this server for email and have both my
AVG Antivirus and MailSafe off. After experiencing problems
again, what I did was reboot and remove VSMON. Then I reinstalled
with my Anti-virus and no firewall. Since I did this VSMON started
at 6MB and is now up to almost 18MB. This is after 24 hours.
Do you know if this indicates that it will keep taking more memory ?
It is not effecting the CPU as it did before, but maybe that was because
it was using so much RAM at that time.
