This is what has always worked well for me in the past:

A) Uncheck "Load Zone Alarm (Pro) at startup"
B) Shutdown Zone Alarm.
C) Disable Antivirus Software running in real time.
D) Empty Internet Log directory.
E) Empty Recycle Bin.
F) Reboot.
G) Run Uninstaller from Add/Remove Programs.

DELETE:
1) C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Zone Labs
2) C:\Program Files\Zone Labs
3) C:\WINDOWS\Internet Logs (Empty Contents)
4) C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Zone Labs
5) C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\zonealarm (pro)
6) C:\WINDOWS\System32\vsdata.dll
7) C:\WINDOWS\System32\vsdatant.sys
