Windows 10: Zone Alarm firewall has failed GRC Leak Test - How can I fix this?

I downloaded and installed Zone Alarm because Windows own firewall failed GRC Leak Test and I was under the impression Zone Alarm was the safest out there. It also failed. Is there a way of fixing this?

GRC leak test


Hello
I run Windows 10 1607 with Defender set to default because I do not understand the advanced settings, and MBAM.
I just failed the GRC leak test.
Should I add Zone alarm?
TY

For the record, Windows Firewall does not block outbound by default, the easiest way to use someting like:
Firewall Software by GlassWire (it provides a great GUI for WF) or a simpler Windows Firewall Control.
But ZoneAlarm is a great firewall, actually the only one left. There is Evorim and Comodo, though ... .

GRC leak test is a bit more advanced, than just a simple outbound call as you can see on the screen, it is not using its own exe to call out. I believe, it is using an injection to a legitimate process instead. The best description is this:

 

Unable to uninstall Zone Alarm ?


Right click the Taskbar and start the Task Manager. Take the drop down arrow and choose More Details. Under the Processes tab look for Zone Alarm and highlight it and End the Process.
Now use the Zone Alarm Uninstall tool ZoneAlarm Uninstall Tool Download
We don't suggest Reinstalling Zone Alarm, you really don't need it. We find it creates false positives and blocks web traffic that is not harmful. You really only need the Windows Firewall and Windows Defender.
