If you stop ZoneAlarm from checking every process that's running on your machine, you might as well not have it installed at all. It becomes sort of a moot point.
From now on, whenever you click "Allow" make sure the checkbox
"Remember my answer" is checked. That way, if ZoneAlarm is presented with that same process/program/app, it knows how to respond automagically. ZoneAlarm needs to be trained on what processes/programs/apps are allowed in and out of your machine. Your firewall is only as good as the person who manages it. Hope that clarifies...
