Along with its effective and easy-to-use firewall protection, ZoneAlarm with Antivirus adds virus features and security controls. The most notable improvements in this latest release are enhanced virus detection and an Auto-Learn function to minimize unnecessary security alerts.
ZoneAlarm's wizard makes firewall configuration and maintanence incredibly easy, with a stylish interface and simple slider controls. The app boasts an ultrasecure triple-layer firewall and experts will appreciate the customizing options. The Zones feature allows you to assign different security levels for local networks and the Internet. The program was very good at automatically including our local network settings and auto-detected wireless machines. In all our tests, the firewall held strong against all threats it encountered.
Beyond the firewall function, ZoneAlarm with Antivirus includes an antivirus scanner, based on Computer Associates' Vet Anti-Virus, that blocks both incoming and outgoing viruses. The most intriguing aspect of this feature is its Advanced Heuristic Detection algorithm, which uses behavior analysis to detect suspicious actions caused by brand-new viruses that haven't yet made it into the virus-definitions database. Though this version of ZoneAlarm lacks the privacy and identity features of the Pro version, users who are satisfied with their existing privacy-protection tools may find ZoneAlarm with Antivirus fits their needs.

Version: ZoneAlarm Anti-virus 2010 9.0.083
Pros: Effective on viruses and spyware. Permits extensive control over individual programs actions on your system and their interface with the internet. Takes some work to get the most out of the built in features.
Cons: Forcefield component needs work. Can block all internet functions. not for someone looking for a generic "do-it-without-thinking-about-it" antivirus program. Takes some work to get the most out of the built in features.
Summary: I have used ZoneAlarm for many years now. I have had fabulous success with it. I have cleaned up friends computers with over 200 viruses and nasty, stubborn trojan's without problem. It does take some work to get all of the setting the way you like.... read more >>
