Default How do I kill Zone Alarm or prevent it from starting?

Do not delete files willy-nilly.
Uninstall it and reinstall it (or get a later version if yours is old)
Otherwise, disable it using Msconfig, though that will not solve your
problem.

I want to uninstall Zone Alarm anyway, and I know the exe files belong
to ZA, and I am not deleting the ZA uninstall.exe, so I guess I should
be okay. The uninstall.exe won't work now, though, because ZA is running.

So I need to either prevent it from starting at boot or kill it once it
starts. I suppose there is a file somewhere that tells the system to
run ZA upon boot, but I don't know where that is. Any clues?
