Ultima Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 ZoneAlarm has a known bug in Windows Vista where it locks the µTorrent process in memory and won't allow it to exit. There isn't much µTorrent can do to work around this, as ZA has kernel-mode access where µTorrent only has user-mode access. ZA is buggy in more ways than one, this being one of the most prevalent problems around here in recent months.Comodo works well as a free/superior replacement for ZA. See the configuration guide for Comodo here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Uninstall Zone Alarm, as Ultima said, and replace it with Comodo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
