Well, I was refering to sending windows messages from any programs to any
other program (not necessarily ZA Processes) -> The latest version of ZA
prevents against windows messaging inbetween two different programs /
processes and pop-up for user's permission to allow access. So it will be a
vague attemt to even try sending anytype of msgs to ZA via windows
messaging.

If I understand things correctly, in the attack Thierry describes, you don't
send window messages to windows of the Zone Alarm process (which might be
protected indeed), but to the Internet Explorer windows.
