Windows Security Alerts

I'm running XP Home Media Center edition. Today the Security Centre has started to notify me that "ZoneAlarm Firewall reports that it is currently turned off" when it most definately is on.

Is this anything to be concerned about?
 
Doesn't sound so good. Are you sure it's turned on? What version of ZA are you running? Is it ZA 7?

I'm a ex-ZA user so I'm so sure tabs and all that.

Reboot. ZA should start automatically.
 
I'm not sure if uninstalling and reinstalling will do...

I was thinking about just setting Windows Security Center to IGNORE the monitoring.

Try resetting Windows Management Instrumentation service as follows:
  • Start a Command prompt:
    • Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command prompt
  • Run the following commands:
    • winmgmt /clearadap
    • winmgmt /kill
    • winmgmt /unregserver
    • winmgmt /regserver
    • winmgmt /resyncperf
    • exit
  • Restart you system.

I tried this but WSC still reports that ZA is currently turned off. ZA itself reports "All Systems Active"
