Someone discovered this about ZA and then the owners of ZA said "yes it does....but we cant tell you what it sends or why or who we share it with".

Use it if you must but be aware its doing this and using your computer's resources to do god knows what else. Aparently the program that does the dialing and sending etc also uses cloaking technology so most peeps cant even see it happening in their task manager or CPU usage!!

Sorry Spidey, but that sounds more like one of those FUD stories you hear (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) spread by competitors or people who don't like ZoneAlarm (or ZoneLabs, or CheckPoint now).

Without links to verifiable literature I, for one, would take that with a pinch of salt.
