I stopped using ZoneAlarm and switched to Tiny Personal Firewall (http://www.tinysoftware.com) for the reason you described above, plus other problems I was having. ZoneAlarm didn't get along with my DSL "dialer" software at all. No problems with Tiny whatsoever. And it's free and approved by www.grc.com (http://www.grc.com)

The one thing I can think of is to look for an option in ZA that mentions something about running as a service. Try toggling that option and see if it helps. Don't remember the exact details tho, as I don't use it anymore :D

If you have paid for ZoneAlarmPro, then you should be entitled to some technical support.

Is this a problem of ZoneAlarm only in PRO version? ... and with what OS?
I'm using ZA 2.1.44 with no probs till now (Win98,1st)
