Really simple.

You have Zone Alarm which is firewall and ZA is disabling Windows Firewall
because you can't run more than one firewall on your system because of
incompatiablity .

You should decide which firewall to keep.

I advise ALL users to have only Windows Firewall set to ON with "Don't allow
exceptions" and remove any other firewalls but you decide which one best meet
your needs. :-)

WF has only incoming protection (but very good) and ZA has bot incoming and
outgoing protection.
