 crashed my computer February 12, 2008

I purchased Zone Alarm and it crashed my computer! I wrote to the company right away and they refused to offer me a refund. After everything I had to go out and spend more money on Norton which works beautifully. Don't buy this product it works terrible and the company wont stand behind its product!
Avoid ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite February 12, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I just recently purchased ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite version 7.0 to replace Norton Internet Security 2007 and have found it to be unacceptably unstable. Norton was slow, but it was never unstable.
ZoneAlarm seems to have multiple memory leaks that consume massive amounts of memory without returning it to the system. For example, the Outlook Express spam filter will consume all available memory if you leave e-mail open. Many times the entire internet suite consumed so much memory and CPU, I had to reboot my computer. It seems they've known about these memory leaks for some time, but haven't done anything to address them.
Checkpoint Systems, the author of ZoneAlarm refuses to provide a refund. They offer refunds on only certain boxed versions of their product even though the base version 7.0 is the same revision I purchased. This is an inconsist refund policy.
ZoneAlarm used to be a good product once upon a time ago. It isn't now and I won't be purchasing ZoneAlarm ever again in the future.
Avoid ZoneAlarm at all costs.
 Best Security Software - Blows Norton and the other away February 11, 2008

I have been using ZoneAlarm Security Suite with Windows XP Pro and it is an exceptional product. I guess it would also be fare to say that you should above normal PC experience to take full advantage of its capabilities; it is not a software for the PC novice.
Over the years I have used Norton, MacAfee (should be RipsYouOffForaFee) and PC- Cillin (Worst Product Ever Made) and each one is a systems resource hog which will wreck your registry files and once you are completely frustrated with them they are a complete pain to remove from your PC.
Zonealarm install very simply and is a charm to work with. It is also the best product for keeping your PC safe and secure. Since I switched to running ZoneAlarm products my PC has never been infected by a Virus, Trojen or any malicious software.
Updates are a snap and the product is always kept up to date with Automatic Anti-Virus and Spyware updates.
If you are frustrated with your current software then I would suggest that you give it the boot and try Zone Alarm Security Suite.
 Good but not Great January 11, 2008

I purchased ZAIS7 last year after reading a lot of great reviews. When you load it the trick is to make sure you have the latest version from the ZA website and keep checking back, even if the program itself says you have the latest version, I found that it doesn't always tell me. I had problems with this program off and on until early fall 2007 when I downloaded a new version, then it was wonderful. My start times dramatically improved and the defintion updates actually updated every hour. However, the newest build (which says it is for Vista but I have XP) seems to be a slight regression in that it seems to be using more resources. My startup times are still okay but there are more processes running now consuming my CPU but it still isn't too bad.

I bought a new Dell desktop PC in 2006 that came with Norton Internet Security 2006. I found the suite to require too many firewall alerts. Sometimes I couldn't make its popups go away for more than a few minutes, no matter which option I selected. When my subscription ran out I switched to Zone Alarm Internet Security 2007. I had used the free ZA firewall on another PC for several years with little trouble except in some terminology. I immediately found that there was less drag on my system, but still there were lots of firewall alerts if I chose a fairly secure mode. The alerts were confusing in that ZA would say that it didn't have any information to help me decide whether the site wanting in or out was ok, and often these involved the Windows system components' attempts to make contacts or to make system changes. The terminology with respect to the handling of the "zones" was also most confusing. I invested many hours reading help files and online forums with little satisfaction to show for it. I had put Microsoft Windows One Care version 1.5 on my wife's laptop about the same time that I installed ZA on mine. I couldn't help but notice that she seemed to have almost no problems with using her computer. I uninstalled Zone Alarm Internet Security 2007 and installed Microsoft Windows One Care on mine. I noticed an immediate and dramatic increase in the speed of my computer. I don't get the firewall alerts with the impossible choices that I got every day with Zone Alarm. I have never been a Microsoft fan. Most of their stuff is too complicated and buggy, but Windows One Care is simple and effective so long as you don't get tangled up in the mess Microsoft calls "Help". Zone Alarm Internet Security 2007 offers lots of options, but I believe for the typical PC user, even one with some experience and patience, it's not worth the trouble that it causes.
