These files were recently updated:

Zone.zat, Zone.exe, ZClient.exe, Zonecli.dll and the files in the ZSetup
folder. Delete all then reenter for fresh copies.

Also look here for other suggestions:

If your firewall allows Zone.exe and Zclient.exe, it may not allow the
new versions of the files. Remove the two from the list, then allow the
new versions when prompted.

You should start by removing and reinstalling heartbeatctl using the following article as a guide:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q225041/

Even if you are successful in removing heartbeat follow the instructions to remove any conflict folders under the heading
NOTE: You may find the files are located within a folder called Conflict.x, where x is a sequential number starting at 1 and
continuing for as long as there are Conflict folders. If the above steps do not work, try the following steps:

Once you have removed heartbeat and any conflict folders restart your system (IMPORTANT) and then reinstall heartbeat by returning
to the zone (reinstallation is automatic).

if using zonealarm you would also be well advised to remove it from the approved applications list and allow it to re-add the zone
data files. The changes made to stop folders involved some connections changes that may cause ZA to block zone access. By
re-adding the zone as an approved application ZA will pick up the modified settings and save them.
