Process VzFw.exe on Sony Vaio

Hello all,

We have a Sony Vaio. When looking at the proccesses, we found out that this one VzFw.exe consumes a lot of memory. I looked on the internet, and it seems that it is related to a multimedia part of the laptop which is called Sony GigaPocket. Is it safe to remove this? How can I remove it? If not, how can I make it consume less memory? Right now it is using a lot of resources.

Thanks in advance

Yeah I would recommend disabling the service using the services snap-in. Then as ch2 says if you need it again then all you need to do is enable and start the service again.

Thanks for the answers. Sorry for getting back this late to you.

War1: that's a good idea, but the process does not show up in the startup list, so I cannot actually disable it and thus remove it from running at startup.

ch2, martync_kc : how do I remove it using services.msc or services snap-in?

Thanks again
