ZoneAlarm Security Suite

I posted this in the software forum by mistake, re-posting here.

Anyone use or hear how well the Antivirus software in the ZoneAlarm Suite works?

I'd rather pay $70 for the zonealarm suite with anitvirus and spyware protection rather than renew my subscribtion to Norton.

Any thoughts?

Well it works OK.
The firewall however is the BEST Ive seen to date.
I have it.

Yes. Even the free ZoneAlarm firewall from www.zonelabs.com is one of the best I've seen out there. MOF, it IS the best I've seen.

But same with the norton suites: the AV may be good (which norton's isn't good anymore, KasperSky kicks @$$) but the rest of the suite is junk. imo. mind you.

Because I am kind of a cheap-ass, I use ZoneAlarm Free Edition. For my antivirus, I use AVG free edition. Both work well together, and both are easy to use. Best of all, they are both free

Lol elbatrop. I like free. So does everyone else.

Whatever you decide..please understand in todays world there is no "One" program can do it all. You need to layer your protection to be truly protected. Here's some food for thought.....

Here's a part of my "Clean Speech" I post for users after clearing spyware, adware, virus, trojans, and worms from their systems.


Recommended Protection Programs

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs:

• SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
• SpywareGuard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
• IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.
• WinPatrol to monitor any changes that programs make to the registry.

If you do not have a firewall, here are 4 free ones available for personal use:

• ZoneAlarm
• Sygate Personal Firewall
• Kerio Personal Firewall
• OutPost Firewall

In todayÂ’s world you MUST have an Antivirus program. If you do not have one, here are 3 FREE ones available for personal use:

• Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus System
• Alwil Avast 4 Home Edition
• Softwin BitDefender Free Edition Version 7

In light of your recent issue, I'm sure you'll like to avoid any future infections. Please take a look at these well written articles

• HOW DID I GET INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
• THE ANTI-SPYWARE TUTORIAL
• MAKING INTERNET EXPLORER SAFER

Bascially....you will need 1 firewall...1 antivirus...and ALL those other programs I listed. That's layerd protection.
