Read it again! It says that Zone Alarm doesn't......,and any information
it does collect is not shared with others, but it does not say that that
the program does not have added 'features' that may be providing data
directly to third parties without your knowledge. Call me paranoid if
you will, but I to would like Zone Alarm to issue a statement regarding
exactly what their program does and does not do and explicitly stating
that their software does not contain any extras for providing
information to other organizations.

There is a cost associated with developing programs and I'm wondering
how Zone Alarm can afford to give away this popular program and still
continue to improve and upgrade it. If they can convince me that their
program is 'clean' then I to would be willing to pay for its use.
