Well, this is sure a shock. Good job on your research. I had installed Zone
Alarm on my system, but then removed it because it slowed everything down so
much. By backing up my registry, and using InCtrl4 and Catfish I caught and
removed all the leftovers after I uninstalled. At the time of the uninstall,
I remember briefly thinking how odd it was that anything should be left on
my hard drive after removing the program.
    After reading your post I took a hard look at my registry just to be
sure. There were none of the entries you mentioned, so I must have restored
the previous version of my registry.
