STILL a quality product... |
|
Having originally used the Zone Alarm Professional Firewall, I was intrigued when they decided to come out with a full security suite a few years ago. While the first incarnations used Vet's antivirus program, the latest version 7 (and now 8) uses Kaspersky's a/v - which is much improved over the previous versions. I have tested multiple other security "suites" in the past several years to include Norton (huge memory/resource hog), McAfee (interface is too 'busy' - also a resource hog) and Trend Micro (ditto to McAfee) to name a few and they have all had their issues that you have to deal with in regards to setup/configuration and just getting them to work correctly out of the box. Zone Alarm has put together an excellent product - top notch firewall, excellent antivirus/antispyware and solid antispam - along with separate, easily configurable "privacy" options (for changing the level to block cookies and ad blocking), basic identity protection and even parental controls. While there have been a few issues in the past 18 months (since the arrival of Vista) and a few Microsoft updates that have collided with my firewall, ZA was out with a tweaked/updated version within a few days and had a workaround in my email box the SAME DAY as the problems began. As an IT professional, I've installed it on no less than 100 computers in the past couple of years and it remains one of the easiest of the security suites to set up. I've just downloaded the newest version, 8.0.015 from their website and am testing it on my XP machine. My early review is that the new interface is clean, updated and still easy to configure. The installation was easier than previous versions and the quickscan of the antispyware completed in less than 1 minute - a definite improvement. Hopefully the virus scan has improved in that department as well. For now, I can still give it 5/5 stars - a quality product that does what it's supposed to do - keep my computer CLEAN. |

Don't waste your time |
|
I installed this on three computers, my desktop, my laptop, and my wife's desktop. It slowed my desktop to the point that I couldn't use it. Slowed the others quite a bit. Emailed customer service, they suggested that I clear all start up programs to determine if one had a conflict with Zone Alarm. Hey I already knew what the conflict was it was zone alarm, so I un-installed it and everything worked fine. I have used their firewall for years and loved it. Apparently they have overloaded this suite with to much stuff. Don't take the chance to waste your $s on this |

Great Product |
|
I have been using Zone Alarm since last October and it has performed brilliantly. I have only owned a computer for about 4 years and went with Norton Initially, I guess because it was the most popular. I was infected at least three times with spyware, viruses, etc... Of the three infections Norton only detected one, the other two I used a free internet scanner to detect. Not too mention Norton used huge amounts of computer resources to operate. Since buying Zone Alarm, my computer has ran much, much better. I have had no infections(granted I am a little more computer savvy), and Zone Alarm is constantly blocking access to my computer. It is highly customizable and easy to use. There are far more features available and I dont even use half of whats available. I would highly recommend Zone Alarm, no matter what your level of computer experience!!! |

Hosed my computer |
I installed this software on a PC running XP. After the installation the computer ran painfully slow and could no longer connect to the internet. Rebooting several times did not help.
At that point, I felt my choices were to spend who-knows-how-long trying to troubleshoot this problematic software, or simply uninstall it. I choose the later and the computer was completely back to normal after the uninstall.
I am not a computer novice. I have installed other internet security software packages on other computers with no problems.
I performed the ZoneAlarm installation per their instructions. I find it unacceptable that their installation wizard botches the job.
I should not have to be an IT guy or make phone calls to their tech support to get the product to work. The installation wizard should get it to work. I will choose another product. I recommend you do the same.

seems fine to me |
You always have to be suspicious about fake customer reviews from those associated with a competing product, so for whatever little this is worth, ZA 7.0.470 seems to work just fine on my computer. It doesn't seem to be causing any noticeable problems and I haven't had any serious intrusions while using it. I don't fully trust ANY one product to fully do the job, so I also use additional anti-spyware and anti-virus software. The other anti-virus didnt find anything. The other anti-spyware product found some minor stuff and one keylogger that ZA didn't tell me about. As I said, it's best to have more than one to increase your chances of being properly covered, and ZA is getting along with my other products. Not going to mention what those are because I don't want anyone thinking I am putting in a plug for someone else. I've been fair and honest. What and who you want to believe is up to you.
