I couldn't answer the question about Zone Alarm. Sorry.

However, when you do a system restore, it actually provides you a calendar and asks you how far back to restore. You just go back to *before* the trouble began. I've had to do it on occasion myself.

And when he has conquered all the deeps of space and all the mysteries of time, still he will be beginning.
