If your copy of Zone Alarm suddenly crashes 

it might be a bug -- for some reason the latest versions have had a lot of reports of reliability problems. It might also be an attack. Details are maddeningly scarce but there's allegedly a way for a bad guy on the network to send your Zone Alarm firewall something that will make it crash.

If everything's running then there's no compelling reason to do anything. If you do have problems, though, don't simply uninstall Zone Alarm. Be sure to run something else in its place. There's another well regarded personal firewall product from Kerio. I haven't used it but the buzz about it is good.
