Samething is happening to me, began today (9/16), constant ZoneAlarm red/high alerts for forcefield and iswsvc.exe. Does anyone know the fix?

Following is Item 23 in the looong response on September 17, 2009, in post 5 of the thread. (It appears to be from ZA Support.) Note the instruction to remove, not just disable, the listed programs. I did it the easy way, I immediately removed ZA and forcefield using Revo Uninstaller. No more alerts.
23.) ZA does not play nice with many other security tools. They may block its correct functioning including updates. For example, spyware doctor, spysweeper, trojan hunter, win patrol, PCtools Threat Fire, Mcafee, Norton, Symantec, Adaware, SpybotS&D, WinPatrol, AVG, Avast free, NOD, Kaspersky, Comodo, Rising, PC Doctor, MS OneCare and many others. If you want to troubleshoot issues with ZA please remove these tools (not enough to disable) and install back (if you really need) only after you see your ZA is working as it should.
The underlined ones are those I had installed at the time, all but Avast were on demand only. You might find the whole response interesting!
