    Is far as I can determine a "... Registry Fix ..." or other external circumvention would not fix that problem. I believe that ZoneAlarm actually opens the HOSTS file as if it was going to update it so that no other programs can access it. If that is in fact the cast the only thing that will fix the problem is for ZoneAlarm to fix their program.

    The only way that will happen is if everyone experiencing the problem repetitively posts in the Zone Labs User Forum until the problem is fixed. Please consider posting in the following forum:

    re:ZoneAlarm Release 6.5.731.000.

    Unfortunately as of this time ZoneAlarm's release history page still lists 6.5.722.000 as the latest release:

    The latest ZoneAlarm release is 6.5.722.000
    So the download of 6.5.731.000 is not available there.

    It appears that the 6.5.731.000 release is only available from what is listed as the FREE ZoneAlarm version here:
