ZoneAlarm Service Agent popup

I recently got a popup that says the following ... ZoneAlarm Service Agent ----------------------- An Important Internet Security Update is available (version 5.5.094.000) Do you want to get the update now? [Yes] [Remind me later]My first concern was whether this was a legitimate messagefrom ZoneAlarm (after all, I am using a version of Zone Alarm)or some sort of malware in disguise.So I right-clicked the taskbar and tried to select "Close".It wouldn't close!I then clicked on the red "X" at the upper right cornerof the window. It still wouldn't close!I finally had to power-off the computer and reboot,but soon after I got online again, there it was again!Is this thing legitimate and harmless?How can I get it not to return?

Try watching it with Netpeeker. I too once caught ZA calling home without permission, and netpeeker is the tool that caught it.
