  Version: ZoneAlarm (Windows Vista) 8.0.065

  "Good But Not The Best"

  by Reborn master on August 2, 2007

  Pros: Easy to use interface.Two way firewall, blocks hacker and intrusion.It can resist malware attacks.Let's users control which programs are allowed to access the internet.Has a lock down feature.

  Cons: Slower stratup.Sometimes it crashes and freezes and causes blue screen of death.Doesn't offer any updates but this feature is in the pro version.Bombards users with popup alerts.I simply recommend Comodo firewall becuase it's much powerful than Zonealarm and dosen't crash or freeze.

  Thank you for submitting your feedback!

  I second that motion regarding the comodo firewall. It totally rules!!! Now... Here's the paradox... I'm switching to zonealarm (i think) because of a strange something about my comodo firewall not working. Things like, ...it works great for a long time on this vista machine, then after i've own it for a year, comodo stops working. So, Here I am. I was going to start this drive from scratch anyway... Its my usual trend.

  Use Comodo Internet Security; it is vista Compatible.

  Comodo tends to bring up even more popups, and the remember function barely works at best. It also failed many ping tests that I tried. I much prefer ZoneAlarm for a user friendly interface that also passes every test I've thrown at it.

  This forum is for review of ZoneAlarm -- for VISTA. Although Comodo has been given excellent marks, IT IS NOT VISTA COMPATIBLE!
