okay, here's how to reset the intrusion counters in ZA...
********************************
"To reset these counters, you need to use Regedit. The usual warnings about editing the registry apply (make a backup, use caution, etc.) If you are uncomfortable using regedit, then you shouldn't use it or attempt to try this tweak.
To reset the counts manually go into Regedit and locate the key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm]. Notice the two values BlockCount and HackCount. These are where ZA stores the running counts for intrusions since installation (or your last reset). You can change these values as you like.
Note that ZA must be restarted for these new numbers to take effect. The way I do this is I first shutdown ZA, run this file to reset the counters, and then restart ZA. (If you are going to shutdown your firewall, then be sure to be disconnected from the net when you do so.)"
*********************************
i successfully reset both the blockcount and the hackcount values to zero just now, using the above instructions.
to restart ZA, i just shut it off and turned it back on, i.e, i lived dangerously for 5 seconds (he said from behind his Linksys BEFSR41).
