Hello everybody. I have noticed vsmon.exe as a process when I open the task manager and I just cant get rid of it, I think that my computer is infected. No matter what I do, it is always there. It wont shut down. My computer is not slowing down, by the way, its working pretty well, but I need to know what is this process doing? Thanks in advance.

This process is something like a program kernel, and it is a part of Zone Alarm Pro firewall. Or ZAP internet security suite. Yes you have Zone Alarm installed on your computer, and without vsmon.exe there is no protection f any kind, so dont bother your self by closing that process, because you just cant, while ZAP is running. If you want to disable that process, than you must disable Zone Alarm from the start-up group menu. But if you are using ZAP as a firewall, why should you do that? Dont worry, your PC is not infected. It is not a threat.
