When ZoneAlarm added that AV monitoring, that was the most ridiculous thing they've ever added to the firewall. It's amazing. What in the world will they think of next..
ZA only recognizes a few of the major AVs I'm afraid. And I don't think there's anything you can do about it. Nor about the registry access.
If you're hooked on ZA, you might just go back to an older version like
4.5 or 4.0. There's considerably less crap in the older versions, although there still is useless stuff in them too. At least in the Pro version. The free versions may be a little less bloated..
