This is not normal for ZA,I run ZA free and ZAP on about 10 computers and
none of them do what you are discribing. I would try an uninstall (follow
the guidelines) or change firewalls. You obviously have a problem with you
current install of ZAP. Have you done a trojan scan on your computer? If
you let one in Zap can not stop it from running, it can only stop it from
getting out to the net.
