    "~ YOU'RE FOREWARNED ~"

    May 24, 2012  |   By Gernard_Blansteen

    Pros

    Not a thing. Nothing. It ruined the reliability of the old ZoneAlarm

    Cons

    You better seriously consider reviewing all the reviews here before downloading this mess. Crashed (2) computers. Computer would constantly freeze up. Both computers took over 7 minutes to start up after installing. I went to uninstall it, only to find out that still, both computers now take 5+ minutes to start up.

    Summary

    This piece of software has destroyed the reliability of what use to be my favorite firewall. It is a resource hog that you have no control over. And something is v-e-r-y fishy about this new suite. Now, both my computers have never been the same after installing, and quickly uninstalling.

    DON'T DO IT. Save yourself the headache that I and countless other people now have to endure.

    Sounds like maybe you had a previous AV installed that remained partially installed? They can conflict even if the other is only partially left behind. I had to download the free software AppRemover by Opswat to find the left over parts of previous AV's that I still had hanging onto my hard drive, and then to remove them. That made a world of difference. You may be surprised to find what you have left behind from old security softwares.
