Jahas Zero Config MFC Application Windows 2000/XP/2003 Service, part of Intel’s ProSET utilities and installed by the drivers for many of Intel wireless network cards, whether onboard as seen in some laptops (e.g. Intel Pro Wireless 2100 in Dell laptops amongst others), or in the shape of PCMCIA wireless network cards (e.g. Intel Pro Wireless 2011). This task provides background support functions for the Intel ProSET utilities which enable you to configure your wireless adapter and connection through the Intel ProSET icon in the System Tray.  See also: Link
mike girling Everytime my intel centrino laptop logs on line wirelessly, after about 2 minutes i get an error message and it disconnects and then reconnects. The error message is the send or dont send m/soft one.
Greg I found my PC very slow...after examining in task manager discovered the cpu at 100%...this pgm was causing the prob...after I ended it PC ran fine...it seemed to affect mcshield causing it to use a lot of cpu. After stopping ZCfgSvc.exe mcshield was fine
I found my PC very slow...after examining in task manager
Bryan Toshiba Laptop - Discovered that ZCfgSvc.exe was using 100% of my cpu. I would just kill the process and everything worked fine unless I tried to access Intel's ProSET utilities. If I tried to start them, ifrmewrk.exe would start eating up 100% of the cpu. I ended up downloading the ProSET utilities and the driver fom Toshibas support website. After I got them installed, everything worked great. Good luck
Stefan Schrepfer Ist von Intel Proset Software, WLAN Utility, bei Fehlern mit dieser Datei muss Die Software deinstalliert, der Treiber aktualisiert und das Programm wieder installiert werden.  See also: Link
will up date the driver for your wireless card and it should stop it worked for me
Rick Directly related to divx6.0 update, but still dont know how to fix it.
ERNIE Runs My CPU, ON TABLET TOSHIBA AT 100%!
Hunter Well, I kept getting an error with my computer every time I went to shut it down... That all stopped once I got rid of that file...
Iczer Jones It IS a part of the Intel PROset wireless, BUT is only seemingly needed during startup. After that it just hogs as much CPU as possible and screws your computer;s performance heavily. Let it startup with windoze, then immediately open task manager and kill the process. DRAMATIC performance increase for Centrino laptops. ;)
Chris I have a Dell D600 latitude laptop with the error message. I installed latest version of Intel Proset Wireless s/w from the Intel website and the error disappeared.
Steve It crashes after the upgrade/install of DivX 6.0
jean-noël I have the message with ZeroCfgSvc MFC Application error when I start wireless connection, my PC(Dell) is slow, I did download and install Divx 6 before, what do I do to fix it, Intel troubleshooting does not find any file about it, do I have to update anything?
rupert das problem tauchte bei mir nach der installation von roxio 8 auf, die warnung kommt nach dem wlan verbindungsaufbau.
tommaso mottironi part of intel proset wireless utility, if you got an error message it is possible to solve running control panel, add and remove programs, intel proset utilities, click change and than repair, after restart the machine you should have not any error message anymore
“Wireless Zero Configuration” service to Disabled. If that still does not solve the problem, then try renaming the C:\Windows\System32\ZCfgSvc.exe file to ZCfgSvc.exe.old as ZCFGSVC is seemingly not necessary for the part of the ProSET utilities which enable you to connect to your wireless network.
Mame D. Fall I know that this process prevent one of our client from running properly her Excel DDE Link along with Reuters BridgeChannel. As soon as we ended the process the Excel started to update correctly.

Frank G. Intel Proset Software "Reparieren" (W2K/XP - Systemsteuerung - Software - Ändern/Entfernen). Wichtig: ALLE Optionen des Treibers installieren. Ab dem anschließenden Herunterfahren trat das Problem nicht mehr auf. System: Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook C1410 - mit W2K.
Jules It seems this file and its partner (SV24EVMON.EXE) both from the intel proset along with McAfee Anti Virus doesn't seem to work. Killing this file seemed to fix everything. Very dramatic performance increase!

Sacs I have 2 such files on my machine. All with different sizes and in different folders. Now i am confused. Which one is right one and how do i know if it's a valid file or a virus. My pc just does memory dump on start?
James S. This file causes system instability if it is unable to update the user profile because of a network change. The instability is cause due to consistent 100% cpu load, caused by the program looping it initial code. I would say to stay away from INTEL made software IMHO. Stick with the windows wireless config.
Benno Savioli Habe gleichfalls Probleme auf Samsung Notebook und im Zusammenhang mit Intel ProSet, Beim Versuch WLAN zu scannen versagt ProSet den Dienst bzw. findet mein WLAN nicht, beim Versuch mit einem eingetragenen direkt zu verbinden kommt eine Meldung, dass ein anderes Programm mit der WLAN-Karte kommuniziere, weshalb ProSet seine Profilverwaltung sicherheitshalber deaktiviert hat - bin noch nicht durch mit dem Problem
Ashley Was installed as said for Intel Wireless connection wizard. I have removed this program from my laptop and was getting a max of 60% signal strength with it gone my range is much greater and 99% signal strength. My note, remove the intell software and just use windows to config the wireless networks :)
siiix part of Intel PROset completely useless utility, uninstall it your wireless will work with out it better, listed in add/remove

Homer At shutdown it causes sample application can't be close warning message.
Chris zcfgsvc.exe and ifrmewrk.exe are both intel proset utilities for your wireless NIC. Run MSConfig, click on the startup tab and uncheck both of these boxes. Voila! No problems. Dell associate helped me resolve this same issue.  See also: Link

Apparently this file is just an unnecessary strain on the CPU...at least on my computer. I just ran msconfig and set Wireless Zero Configuration to disabled. Worked like a charm, never had to worry about it again.
