Customer Reviews

Not Bloatware Like Symantec Internet Security
After removing Symantec and installing Zonealarm my computer speeded up by a factor of at least 10.

I'm not certain why Symantec slows some computers down but leaves others going fast -
in my case it insisted on scanning every program transferred and used and on scanning every outgoing email even though I truned those features off.

I recommend Zonealarm for users with some expertise - during the initial usage you need to understand what programs to allow and what to block (look them up on Google).

What happened Zone Alarm?
I had been a Norton Security user for years and years. However, when my 2005 version was up for renewal on both my desktop and labtop, I balked at paying Norton's higher renewal rates or purchasing a whole new version of Norton. So after some research I switched to Zone Alarm 6 - 3 user license. It worked wonderfully. I could actually still work on my computer as it was scanning for both spyware and antivirus unlike the Norton. The firewall worked very well. It was easy to install, easy to configure and had very little impact on system performance. It seemed I had found a better solution to the somewhat bloated and system hungry Norton. Thus, I was quite happy to renew my Zone Alarm subscription for this year. However, I'm not sure what happened with the build 7 of Zone Alarm. It first caused problems with me receiving emails through POP3 account via Outlook 2003, my computer didn't always shut down, I could no longer use the InCD burning capabilities of Nero 6 (even after updating the Nero 6) and the final straw was that the antivirus hung up on a small system file on my spare SATA drive called tracking.log. Excluding this file or even the entire drive wasn't an option given how aggressive spyware, viruses and other nasties could be out there. The problem with the email actually was not an uncommon problem and the forum gurus at Zone Alarm didn't have much of solution which was to use the 6.5 build of Zone Alarm (2006 version)or just wait. I have switched back to Norton which has a very affordable 3 computer license, much less of a system impact than the 2005 and apparently the 2006 and is a well established company. I will simply have to write off my expense of Zone Alarm. I did fill out their survey notifying them of my problems and hopefully they will fix them.

!WARNING! Not the Zone Alarm We Once Knew! WARNING!
I am an experienced computer professional and beta tester and ZA 7 is an unmitigated disaster. Issues clearly identified while in beta were not fixed when CheckPoint(an Israeli company which purchased ZA in 2004) released the "gold" version on Jan 15, 2007. If you do manage to get it working it uses anywhere from 80 to 170 MB of RAM! Then the so called "Kaspersky" antivirus database will corrupt. This makes Symantec products seem elegant.

It is insult to injury when the arrogant attitude of tech support adds to the frustrations. The wall of silence from CheckPoint ZoneAlarm is stunning as they have still not fixed even one of the numerous problems.

Steer clear. Try Comodo Firewall / AVG anti-virus or anything else but this.
