Reviewed by: CNET Staff
ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware 7 is a stand-alone application from Zone Labs, long respected for its excellent free firewall software. Here, their Anti-Spyware uses firewall technology to specifically address spyware, providing a deep level of protection; unfortunately, it also requires a significant amount of user intervention until it learns your system.
Putting a stop to every form of spyware is no easy task, but ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware does a pretty good job of being your first line of defense. The antispyware package comes with ZoneAlarm's firewall software, a component that monitors your antivirus software, and e-mail protection against dangerous attachments. People familiar with the popular ZoneAlarm firewall software will recognize the intuitive tabbed interface and newcomers will become acclimated quickly by exploring each section. Unlike most popular antispyware software, ZoneAlarm scans commonly affected system areas rather than your entire computer.
While this method scans faster than other options and is mostly effective for catching intruders, we find a comprehensive system scan to be more desirable. Overall, ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware is a good choice as part of your defense against spyware. Those looking for the addition of a software firewall included in their antispyware program will find ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware a mostly reliable choice.

Version: ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware 6.1.744
Pros: OKay this is an allright product. Maybe use this as your last chouice if you have got spyware doctor and ad aware. Spyware doctor detected 150spyware on my computer while zonealarm only detected 23.
Cons: I highly and HIGHLY recommend of you getting zonealarm internet security suite. First of all, that contains all the products of Zonealarm has to offer today. This is an allright program but there are better anti spyware out there.

Version: ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware 6.1.744
Pros: Cheaper than the Pro version, it has all firewall functions as the Pro has. If paranoid and in tight-budget, this is the one to go for.
