    "Terrible Uninstall"

    January 3, 2006  |   By NeutronMonkey

    Version: ZoneAlarm Pro 6.0.667.000

    Pros

    I thought it was great after reading PC World reviews and loaded it on my computer. Wow it's neat. It worked great until I tried to uninstall the program.

    Cons

    I tried to uninstall Zone Alarm Firewall and my computer gave me the Blue Screen of Death. I then found on chat room that mentioned the HUGE problems with attempting to uninstall Zone Alarm Firewall. I followed the recommended steps to manually uninstall the program and Now my computer will not give me any access to the internet. SO I am left with a complete reboot and install of my computer Operating system... DO NOT INSTALL ZONE ALARM FIREWALL it is not worth the effort. In summary, I am so fuming mad with this software that I will NEVER recommend it to anyone.

    "Best darn firewall but can get irritating"

    December 18, 2005  |   By latent.lamp

    Version: ZoneAlarm Pro 6.0.667.000

    Pros

    uncompromized protection with respect to firewall. Decent spyware protection (although, inferior to spysweeper). Vast program database so most monitering and moderation of internet access is done automatically.

    Cons

    Helpfiles are not as comprehensive as they should be, not a good user tutorial. Sometimes the blocking of legit sites gets irritating.

    "The very best program ever!"

    December 10, 2005  |   By mrsjdfan

    Version: ZoneAlarm Pro 6.0.667.000

    Pros

    I'd wasted almost $100.00 when I bought Norton Internet Security Suite. It stopped nothing and found/fixed nothing.

    I tried the 15 day trial of ZAP and was so impressed that I just had to buy it. Amazing! I haven't had a single problem online since I got rid of Norton and started using ZAP. It does too much to list but the anti-spyware program works wonderfully. It stops popups/unders, cleans cache, including hidden/locked index.dat cookies, triple defense firewall that works great. I like that I can customize all the settings to suit my needs. Being able to find exactly where hacker attacks are coming from is a real bonus. It does so much! This is worth the money and is inexpensive. The yearly update cost is a little steep for some but well worth it. THIS IS THE BEST program to cover so many online hazard areas AND A MUST HAVE. I feel totally safe using the Internet now and excited even. I was being bombarded with aboutblank popups and all manner of spyware before using ZoneAlarm Pro.

    Cons

    I dare anyone to find a con in this program! If someone does then they are just to darn nitpicky. No offense meant but try the trial and be safe and content surfing.

    "Best Firewall I Have Used"

    December 10, 2005  |   By r_smyth

    Version: ZoneAlarm Pro 6.0.667.000

    Pros

    I have been using Zone Alarm Pro in tandem with NOD32 VirusScan for over 4 years. I have had no incidents of worm or virus infestation with this combination. Have always been able to access the update funtion, but you have to allow ZoneLabs access to your mobile code, otherwise it will not download. Having tried most if not all of the firewalls available I have found this to be the least system invasive and user friendly. Have never used the ZoneLabs VirusScan....dont really see the need with my current combination. Would consider this to be an excellent product and company.

    Cons

    Blocking individual components can be confusing...best left up to the expert user.

    "Overall, very good"

    November 28, 2005  |   By hilogirl

    Version: ZoneAlarm Pro 6.0.667.000

    Pros

    After using the free version for years, I finally coughed up some $$ for Pro. Overall, I like what I see.

    1. All the good stuff in the free version can still be found here.

    2. Like that the proggie includes Anti-Spyware check, but... see #1 under Cons below.

    3. Love the ability to specify trusted ports (can't do that with the free version).

    4. Greater customization than the free version (guess this relates to #3, but what have you).

    Cons

    1. I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned bloat. The Pro version seems to suffer from it.

    2. For some reason, not all of my settings ported over from the free version to Pro. This was not expected behavior.

    3. Pro seems a bit overzealous when blocking some programs (i.e. name variations of programs I've already approved).

    "Good product gone... mediocra"

    November 3, 2005  |   By Indoubt

    Version: ZoneAlarm Pro 6.0.667.000

    Pros

    Outbound internet traffic control

    Cons

    Let's get this straight... ZoneLabs is not really Zonelabs anymore - the name of the company that acquired *ZoneLabs* is *Check Point*

    Personally, I don't think that this product can be compared with the original Zonelabs firewall - it certainly has more bells & whistles & it is more bloated, but it does not offer you the complete stealth good old ZoneAlarm used to offer.

    I believe that real ZoneAlarm was discontinued after v4.5 & now we are dealing with a brand new thing by *Check Point*

    I am not in the position to know if any original developers from ZoneLabs work for *Check Point*, but this is definitely NOT ZoneAlarm � Have it tested at �SShields Up" if you like.
