This is from the ZA help file, perhaps this is what he was seeing:

Joining the DefenseNet community Zone Labs security software users can help shape the future of Zone Labs security products by joining the DefenseNet community protection network and periodically sending anonymous configuration data to Zone Labs for analysis. By joining DefenseNet, you can help us focus our attention on the features and services that you use most often and to introduce new functionality that will provide even smarter security.

Configuration data is not collected from ZoneAlarm or ZoneAlarm Anti-virus users.

Even with the "Alert me before I make contact" preference selected in the Overview|Preferences tab, you will not be alerted before sending configuration data to Zone Labs.

The data collected is completely anonymous and is for Zone Labs internal use only and will not be shared with others. Of the millions of Zone Labs security software users, only a small percentage of users will have their information collected. The frequency of data transmission depends upon the configuration of your computer. For most users, data will be sent once per day.

To send configuration data to Zone Labs, select Yes, automatically and anonymously share my settings in the Configuration Wizard.

If you later decide that you do not want to send anonymous data, select Overview|Preferences, in the Contact with Zone Labs area, then clear the Share my settings anonymously... check box.
