I used to trust ZoneAlarm, but then I figured that hardware firewalling is probably a safer bet than software firewalling, especially if the software firewall is running on a Windows box.
ZoneAlarm is the only thing that can tell you this attempt to connect to port 80 on http://12.34.56.78 is not coming from your browser, but from a process called __Leet_IM__CLient!!!111__ . You get the picture...
Because you allow port 80 outbound in your hardware firewall, don't you?
