Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Along with its effective and easy-to-use firewall protection, ZoneAlarm with Antivirus adds virus features and security controls. The most notable improvement in this latest release is an enhanced triple-layer firewall, which now safeguards your machine's OS and Registry. ZoneAlarm's wizard makes configuring a firewall incredibly easy. Maintaining and updating settings also is a snap when using the application's stylish interface and its simple slider controls. Experts will appreciate options that let them set up custom rules. The program's Zones feature also allows you to assign different security levels for a local network and for the Internet. We found ZoneAlarm with Antivirus very good at recognizing and automatically including settings for our local network. In all our tests, the firewall guarded against all external and internal 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 Antivirus 6.5.7
"Could have been great, but the bugs are annoying"
Pros: Very easy to use. Integrates easily into Zone Labs Security. Frequent updates. Decent level of options.
Cons: Bugs bugs bugs. It can prevent programs from loading but fail to tell you. Its script blocker is so strong that after a system boot, it won't allow custom settings to load such as important ones like pagefile size and certain network settings. I looked for what was wrong for a couple days, then uninstalling this fixed everything. It's too bad, this program is great otherwise but this glitch can't be tolerated. The rest of Zonealarm's products I very highly recommend, but omit this from your list and get the Bitdefender 9 Pro antivirus or NOD 32 and by all means use the rest of ZA's products. They're amonst the best and the ZA Pro firewall is the best out there.
