I’m just warning that the free version of ZoneAlarm has preconfigured settings that are beyond your control. That organizations pay ZoneAlarm to preconfigure access past the firewall settings. It will not show up as spyware on any scans. For example, XYZ Advertising Inc., gets to see your IE history without your knowledge because they have paid ZoneAlarm to program access past the firewall. This is just an arbitrary example.

See my following posts/links.
