VzFw.exe used at least 37 MB of RAM on my computer. Since it's part of GigaPocket, which I don't use, I compressed VzFw.exe & VzFwImport.dll in a rar file and then deleted both those files. VzFw.exe thankfully doesn't start on my computer anymore. If you delete these files, make sure you save a copy elsewhere in case you need to restore them. You can find these files inside C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sony Shared\VAIO Entertainment\VzCdb

It began devouring cpu after I indexed my music & picture files in vaio zone... shut it off with no ill effects. A nuisance...

It's kinda organizing tool working in the background. It instantly compares the library of Sonic Stage and VAIO ZONE. If you added new music to your Sonic Stage library this executive will add it to Vaio Zone automatically. That's all.

It's more a nuisance than anything. Just appears randomly and interupts the programme running.

Vzfw refers to the Vaio Zone Framework of Sony, which comes by default on the VAIO Pcs and Laptops. There seems to be some problem with this program as it eats up all the CPU Cycles. So, after startup, I always kill it so that it does not hog the CPU. OTherwise pretty harmless

It's the Sony Vaio framework app, it catalogues media files for Vaio Zone.

The VzFw.exe file stopped WMP9 on its tracks, taking up to 99 to 100% CPU usage, making other programs non responsive. I was about to return my laptop because of the frequent ocurrence.
