I wouldn't do that. The computer could be attacked almost immediately. A better idea would be to go into the ZoneAlarm control panel and look for the list of apps. It should show you what the permissions are for each app. Granted, I haven't used the free version of ZA in several years, and I quit using the pro version after having way too many conflicts and problems with connections, so I can't tell you exactly where it is. You should have access to the list, whatever version you're on.

BTW, I've been using Comodo for 6 or 8 months now, and it seems to be working just fine.
