Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Along with its effective and easy-to-use firewall and additional security features, this new version of ZoneAlarm Pro revamps the mostly solid antispyware protection introduced in the last release.
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.
The suite also includes an antivirus scanner, a cookie cleaner, ad and pop-up blockers and new antispwyare tools. Happily, the app offers both real-time protection against malware as well as a scanning engine. In our tests, spyware scans were blisteringly fast and almost always accurate, though some minor traces were left behind. The real-time module could have offered more information from directly within the program on potential threats. Other features include Web site-specific protections, an ID Lock for personal information and a configurable site-blocking content filter. With a tougher firewall and the antispyware tool strengthening, this excellent program just keeps improving.

"simply the best (with a few hiccups)"
Pros: if nothing else, the identity protection feature makes zone alarm pro stand out amongst all the other firewalls, and i have tested quite a few. the firewall has passed all the tests i have thrown at it and nothing on my computer can so much as break wind without me knowing about it. you can put your ip address into your identity vault, and it indeed does prevent your ip from being seen online.......a nice little touch!.........comodo is another good firewall, but it lacks the indentity protection features of zone alarm.
Cons: it uses a good few resources, and can slow boot up times. but what the hell? isnt this preferabley better than being hacked and having your identity, or worse, your credit card details creamed off?
