Turning off the nag screen for ZoneAlarm free
Check out this website I found at forums.majorgeeks.com
I've been evaluating ZoneAlarm free, and it turns out there's an upsell nag screen that seems to appear each time you reboot.
I **hate** nag screens.
But I found this workaround. Haven't had it in long enough to issue a verdict on it yet, but it seems promising. The nag screen hasn't resurfaced after one reboot at least.
The full discussion is at the link above, but the short of it is to reboot in safe mode and set the following registry key to "0":
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm\RunUpsellNotice
