That can wait. You first want to bring your pc to the running
position as earlier.

That's why I'm storing a pretty usable standard configuration (registry
file, batch scripts) among the installers.

If I wouldn't, I would at least pay attention to the most relevant
settings. And this includes any automatic net activity.

and each software tries to connect to net, ZA
dutifully prompts me and then, I first refuse the permission for
that software,

and fail. In the meanwhile, ZA messes up your networking and creates a
lot of wonderful attack vectors. Dude, why don't you at least some
serious alternative like Wipfw? Yet it will still be totally unreliable
when it comes to filtering outbound traffic from untrusted sources, but
it doesn't mess up everything.
