is a Computer Associate Product. consisting of both the firewall and the
antivirus. Look at their site.Under this they sell their renamed copy of
Zone Alarm which incidentally still shows up as Zone in the registry.
Computer Associates has a deal with Zone which uses and sells CA's antivirus
program. Also CA through Cablevision sells the Zone and EZ antivirus package
for $29.99 to Cable Vision subscribers under the EZ names.

I'm running ZAP v5.0.590.043 also, and it doesn't properly detect Avast! antivirus either. I feel confident that Avast! is working normally. Hopefully the next ZAP upgrade will solve the antivirus monitoring problems. You could check in the Zonelabs web forum for additional information (just do a google search for a link).

Thanks for the replies, according to people on the zone labs forum this is a
problem for others as well. Hopefully a future release of the sorware will
sort it out.
