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 6.5.722
Pros: Quite easy to set up, and works similar to Norton but not half as intrusive.A much smaller download that most.I used to have BitDefender.I thought that was the best, but after months I was getting a lot of corrupt files from BitDefender.The final straw came last night a 8pm, when BitDefender decided to turn off its firewall and Antivirus.I could not get them switched on again.I Downloaded Zone Alarm and thought wow,this is a lot better and cheaper.After I easily got Zone Alarm set up.I did a virus scan and luckily none had leaked through.I then had to manually delete Bitdefender file by file, taking me a couple of hours.Now all is running wonderful with Zone Alarm.My pc is about 25% faster too.Its also easy to add them pesky IP domains trying to hack in from Indonesia etc to the untrusted zone.So far I like Zone Alarm.Its the one for me now!
Cons: Just minor flaws when opening first time,like getting non stop warnings about your good softwares.They disappear after a while, when it gets to know your system

Version: ZoneAlarm Antivirus 6.5.722
Pros: This is the best antivirus I've ever used.. Downloaded because i kept getting IExplorer popping up taking me to a site when i was playing a game and the antivirus i payed $59.95 a year for wouldnt find anything. Ran this and found 61 infections that it auto cleaned.
Cons: Was a little tricky at first to walk thru and find everything but once i did it was cake.
