Zone Alarm 4.5x is on the list of products with problems in an XPSP2
environment, but only for 64-bit platforms. Ditto for versions 3.7
and 4, as well as Black Ice 3.6crj (among many others with problems
on 64-bit machines).

The only flavor of ZA that's listed as being impacted by SP2 on a
32-bit platform is 5.0.590 .

Of course, this doesn't mean that there aren't problems with ZA 4.5x
under XPSP2, but they aren't mentioned in KB884130, and (so far) I've
not seen any trouble that I can pin on ZA 4.5.x .

Unrelated item: for any enterprise IT staff reading this thread, the
merged Windows XP with SP2 integrated CD was included in the September
shipment to VLA customers (SELECT, EA, and presumably academic kits
as well). Also shipped was the SP2 disk, the contents of which are
bit-for-bit identical to what was shipped to MSDN customers.
