I have zone alarm and had a huge problem with spy ware and viruses and such. Well I formatted and cleaned up the computer and put zone alarm on the computer and now I will get a ton of things from zone alarm saying that all these things have been blocked. How can I fight back or stop these people from finding my computer?

It only means, that your firewall works. Just disable that notification, and ZoneAlarm will stop annoying you.

You also need more than just ZA. Check here for additional protection.

Check with your ISP to see if they have an abuse dept. Most ISP will accept logs showing port probes that ORIGINATE from one of their customers.

Try Sygate Personal Firewall it's free and has a backtrace including who to report the abuse to built in, but it is a dificult for the inexperienced.
