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 7
Pros: I installed the latest version of this software a few weeks ago and it works fine. It is very light on the system and it has several layers of protection. Updates are frequent and scanning is fast and deep. The OS firewall is very good and you can select and use a lot of options. It all depends on the level of protection that you want. Once this software is installed it will automatically disable your windows firewall and will replace it with a much better layer of protection. I am using ZoneAlarm anti-spyware along with Avira anti-virus and I haven't had any problems so far. In the beginning it might seem like the programme is very difficult and sophisticated to understand but it's not like that. Every component of the program is clear and you can choose from a wide variety of options for a better protection. There are several functioning components: firewall, program control, anti-spyware, anti-virus monitoring, email protection, alerts and logs, etc. I think that this program is worth trying and using.
Cons: The only funny thing is the fact that it does not detect the anti-virus software running on my computer but that's not really a big deal :)
