Good advice on Comodo!
The below is not as complex as it looks one step at a time. It is your choice if you do it or not.
But ZA is stickie hard to remove like Norton. Even after (just the Add/Remove ZA uninstall) it can cause obvious and undetermind issues and slowdowns.
This may be an eye opening experience as you see what a poor uninstall leaves behind.
The below is my full ZA removal process but you have already done a standard uninstall and the Add/remove entry is now gone so Revo will not detect ZA. So begin at the point after that.
Removing and cleaning ZoneAlarm
Uncheck all to turn off and or disable ZA then reboot
Uninstall with Revo http://www.revouninstaller.com/ Used Advance and remove leftover Registry and Disk files.
Download Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
Make sure hidden files and folders are shown. Open Windows Explorer. Depending on your OS click Tools or View and then Folder Options > View.
Choose Show hidden files and folders, uncheck Hide protected operating system files and click OK.
Then:
Left Drag mouse to highlight and copy all text in the box below.
Code:
Zonelabs; "zone labs"; "Internet logs"; vsconfig.xml; vsdata.dll; vsdata95.vxd; vsdatant.sys; vsmon.*; vsmonapi.dll; vsnetutils.dll;vspubapi.dll; zaplus.*; zapro.*; zllictbl.dat; zlparser.dll; zonealarm.exe; zoneband.dll; vsutil.dll; zlclient.*
Next:
Start-Search-Files and Folders. In location set to search your Local Hard Drive (usually C:\ ) or All Local Drives.
Select Advanced Search Options and set to search subfolders and hidden files.
Now paste the copied lines from above into the search box and click Search Now.
Delete all it finds! Empty Recycle bin.
Next:
To remove all ZoneLabs keys left in the Windows registry.
Highlight and copy for pasting, the below (between the lines)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ZAMailSafe]
[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zone Labs]
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Zone Labs]
[-HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Zone Labs]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Paste the lines into Notepad.
Save as (All Files) removeza.reg.
Once saved double click removeza.reg and allow - accept the prompts for changes to be made.
Now REBOOT.
left drag mouse and select all in the box below for pasting.

Once the above is selected the open a cmd prompt and paste to the black screen.
Run AutoRuns click the Everything Tab look down the column Publisher for anything not Microsoft delete any line referencing Zone alarm or Zonelabs.

If you are paranoid do the following also.
D/L Regseeker http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
Run it and select "Find in Registry" the following 1 at a time.
zonelabs
zone labs
zonealarm
zoneband
zlclient
zaplus
zapro
zamailsafe
zllictbl
zlparser
Internet logs
vsconfig
vsdata
vsmon
vsnetutils
vspubapi
vsutil
Then in Regseeker select Clean Registry and do a general Reg clean before rebooting.
And finally you will be clean of ZA.
