• "A one-stop security solution"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: ZoneAlarm Security Suite 7

Along with its effective and easy-to-use firewall and additional security features, this new version of ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 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. Security Suite also incorporates the company's IMSecurity program, which protects instant-messaging programs from spam and encrypts messages (so long as the person on the other end also is using IMSecurity). Users looking for one solution to almost all their Internet-security concerns can turn to ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite.

  "The one I trust and use on all my machines"

  by FloridaSwamp on August 27, 2007

  Pros: I am a huge fan of this security suite. I usually despise all in one security suites but this one is extremely effective and uses the kaspersky av engine, Can't beat that!

  Cons: On my Vista machine I have noticed a couple annoying bugs. Once in awhile the Anti-spyware update will "hang" forever. Another complaint is that on Vista this Suite is not yet fully functional because it is missing some of the tools available on the xp version. I have contacted ZoneAlarm about this and they assure me that they will have all the tools currently available on Vista that they have on XP when the next update is released. If it had all the features of the xp version I would have given it 5 stars. But still better than mcafee or norton.

  "Poweful Suite"

  by Reborn master on July 12, 2007

  Pros: Easy to use interface.Excellent antivirus, which uses kaspersky's engine.The antispyware is best at blocking spyware rather than removing it.The firewall is robust, and the new auto-learning features makes it less annoying.Provides identity protection.It compatible with vista.It regularly updates it's database.

  Cons: It does use a lot of memory during startup.Has bugs and conflicts and crashed couple of times on my pc.The antispam is not the best.No antiphishing protection for other browsers.

  "Good but not brilliant"

  by mb208 on December 15, 2007

  Pros: Fine if you don't use P2p file sharing. Easy install. Protects both outgoing and incoming traffic.

  Cons: In Vista affects the NAT firewall in p2p applications and hence download speeds even after instructing full access. Had to uninstall it for this reason.

  Too many repeat pop up warning messages which never have any further information to help you decide what to do.

  I'd recommend Comodo Firewall Pro - far far better.

  "The best security suite out there."

  by barsteward on November 17, 2007

  Pros: Very easy to set up.Even a child could manage this software.Nice interface.At first you get lots of warnings but after it gets to know your pc, they level out to just the odd one or two.Very strong antivirus.Lots of features,antispam,parental control,Identity protection, and the best firewall indeed.Catches viruses in an instant. Its not a system hog either,and does not slow down you pc.Would recommend this to everyone.

  Cons: Poor antispyware.It just scans for the most well known spyware variants.The antispyware scan takes a few minutes?

  but I still give it 5 stars.

  "Best Anti-Virus Available"

  by Schilling34 on January 6, 2008

  Pros: I use on all my machines and have for several years. It stops ALL attacks including local home networks. After getting a virus that crashed both systems at home on a network (I was running McAfee), I switched to Zone Alarm and haven't looked back.
