ZoneAlarm Auto-Update Alarms Users

If you use the ever popular software firewall ZoneAlarm you will have recently seen the first appearance of the new Auto-Update dialogue box indicating that ZA has successfully patched itself. One discussion appears here. Screencaps of the glorious moment are here. If you haven`t spotted the dialogue box it is likely you neglected to download and install the last "full" version which must have included the Auto-Update feature. You are bad, very bad. Update your old ZoneAlarm and bask in the glory of a new Auto-Update tomorrow. (cue triumphant music) Now, why did they not inform its user base of this welcome development before the fact? This is the kind of action that generally prompts me to do a full uninstall as I worry about other processes launching behind my back. Arrgh. I look forward to the full explanation of this behaviour as should you.
