Correct me if I'm wrong but on my (Win98) system disabling ZoneAlarm is a
simple matter of a few clicks. No need to restart Windows or anything ("Your
mouse has moved, you need to restart Windows for the changes to take
effect").
Doesn't your version of ZoneAlarm have options which allows you to quickly and
simply DISABLE all internet access and ENABLE all internet access (in reality
disable ZoneAlarm)?
