I stop'd at 5.5.094 - right before it went bloatest ware.
 
I tried ZAP for a short time, finally couldn't stand the nags and all the
prompts waiting for me to respond, and the enormous resource hog it was,
slowed my system to a crawl, I uninstalled it and went back to the free
version. Never again will i install ZAP on a pc of mine.
 
I probably know about six or seven folks who've stopped using it the last
month or so. I personally haven't used it in about four years. The latest
versions aren't what the old ones were.
 
Hi,

Zone Alarm version 6.5 has a bug that creates very large .rdb files
within the system. These .rdb files are monitored by System Restore
and thus end up in the restore points located in the System Volume
Information folder, along with other locations on the system. The best
advise is to avoid version 6.5.

For more information on this subject please visit the Zone Labs User
Forum.

Sunbelt's Kerio Personal Firewall is a nice alternative.
