Startup Programs

At least two things load for ZoneAlarm, not counting any .dlls or other
files.

Program Files\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\zonealarm.exe
and
TrueVector Internet Monitor service (vsmon.exe).
\WINDOWS\system32\ZoneLabs\vsmon.exe -service

I beleive that zonealarm.exe is what you see in the Notification Area.

zap files are Zone Alarm Data files.

Also these babies...
\program files\zone labs\zonealarm\alert_za.zap (Alerts Plugin Module)
\program files\zone labs\zonealarm\email_za.zap (Email Plugin Module)
\program files\zone labs\zonealarm\firewall_za.zap (Firewall Plugin Module)
\program files\zone labs\zonealarm\framewrk.dll (ZoneAlarm Framework Module)
\windows\system32\zonelabs\html.tdr (Internet Access Monitor)
\program files\zone labs\zonealarm\programs_za.zap (Programs Plugin Module)
\program files\zone labs\zonealarm\security_za.zap (Overview Plugin Module)
\windows\system32\zonelabs\ssleay32.dll (TrueVector Service)
\windows\system32\vsdata.dll (TrueVector Service DLL)
\windows\system32\zonelabs\vsdb.dll (TrueVector Service)
\windows\system32\vsmonapi.dll (TrueVector Client Interface)
\windows\system32\vspubapi.dll (TrueVector Service)
\windows\system32\zonelabs\vsruledb.dll (TrueVector Service)
\windows\system32\vsutil.dll (TrueVector Service)

And I may have missed one or two.
