I'm also in the club. The sad thing is I am not computer savvy at all and I can still see how this .exe is creating so many problems for me. ZA needs to fix this issue. I'm open to hear some reviews on other free antivirus software. Any suggestions?

ZoneAlarm has dropped in popularity enormously over the last five years because of various unfixed issues - that's why you don't see it mentioned as much on the forums. Here's some other free antivirus you may want to try:
Avast Free: http://www.avast.com/en-gb/free-ant...
Avira Free: http://www.avira.com/en/avira-free-...
Comodo Antivirus Free: http://antivirus.comodo.com/The choice will be much greater if you are prepared to pay for a security package, in my view none of the free ones are suitable.

I don't a reason for average user to pay for AV software. 19.5.2012 i installed Avast free edition and so far i have zero issues, i visited all kind of sites and download from torrents.
Here is another good AV soft
MS Security Essentials

those are good antivirus software as well as a free version of malwarebytes anti malware you should scan your pc at least once a month with it its powerful in removing viruses and malware that ur normal av wont detect computers are a second home

I agree with Avast for a free antivirus program. I use and recommend it.
I like Webroot's slightly better because the newest version is zero intrusion and uses even less resources, but you have to pay for it. I use it on 5 machines at home.You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.
