Editor's review of ZoneAlarm Pro 8.02

- "ZoneAlarm joins the adware fight"
- Version reviewed: ZoneAlarm Pro 8.02
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.

Version: ZoneAlarm Pro 8.02
"Excellent! Used it for many years for 'free'. Would buy"
Pros: Still the same excellent protection and all the info is great. I have only been in a position to use the free version. No $ to buy the full version, or, I would do so.
Cons: I don't have the money to buy the 'purchased' version of ZoneAlarm. I am disabled and use my computer a lot! I have not found any negative things to report at all.
Summary: Being able to control the custom settings on programs makes ZoneAlarm the exact product I need. Bob in Mesa, Arizona

"SLOWS COMPUTER & BROWSING DOWN / DISHONEST COMPANY"
Pros: Ability to filter Ads, cookies and Scripts easily.
Cons: (1) Once shutdown firewall, web browsing speed really picked up. Same for opening any file or program. Also slows boot up by 2 min.
(2) DISHONEST CO: Firewall is designed to slow ur computer down further until u renew.Summary: Doesn't keep up with Windows Patches. Company took 4 days to send upgrades out in response to any Windows upgrade and did NOT inform users....... ZA used to be good, until Checkpoint acquired it, slow and bloated now. Had poor test results in comp... read more >>

"excellent firewall but crap antispyware"
Pros: super-impressive firewall
Cons: expensive and the antispyware engine is hopeless
-
Version: ZoneAlarm Pro 8.02
"Slow to integrate with new Operating Systems"
Pros: The best and easiest to use firewall you can get for XP 32 bit and (just last week, according to their live support) Vista and VIsta 64
Cons: According to their live support rep, they released Vista and Vista 64 compatible versions just last week and will never support x64.
Zero product tech support. All tech support is given by other users in a forum, no ZL employees give support.Summary: Get it if you have a compatible OS, but hope you don't have problems.
