Actually till now Zone alarm is not compatible with Windows 7, you can use one of the following:

• McAfee
• Kaspersky
• ESET
• Commodo
• AVG
• Norton

See here : Windows 7 compatible software list

Have you tried using the inbuilt windows firewall? There's no need to use a third party firewall with Windows 7 unless you specifically need easy to control outbound blocking. I'm using on board firewall and not facing any problems with this, works perfect. Other wise i'll recommend you Avg 8.5 , i have tried this and its also works nice.

Zone Alarm is crap, try COMODO. You can try a good Anti-Virus like Avast or Avira . In fact the built-in firewall in Windows 7 is the best one to use , but i'm using Avast and working really nice. Hope this sugesstion will help you.
