   2.6.362 allows pings and port IDENT 113 is visible to the internet. All
other ports were stealthed.

   On slower systems, if you're really concerned about these two flaws in
zonealarm, I'd simply use Sygate Firewall instead - it'll hide everything, and
it has as light of a footprint as ZA (ie. fast on slower systems).

Doesn't here, at least not on my LAN where I used a linux portscanner to 
try things out.
Perhaps you've once allowed pings to come through, and didn't notice it 
was a ping because it actually appeared as some legal Windows service.

Or maybe some obscure Windows program uses that port for some reason.

BTW ZA has options for distinct security levels.
