The uninstall should work, despite it running, assuming you have not
deleted any files like zauninst.exe.
Uninstall it via Add/Remove and it should stop running after the next
boot.
The running can be disabled by Msconfig (as already indicated) but
that should not be necessary.
If you must go down that path, then:
Start-Run-Msconfig-Startup tab.

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

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?
