Hi friends,
I am using this Zone Alarm security suite from 2003, so u can trust my review whole heartedly. As far as I am concerned ZAis excellent and it is the best available in market.
The features of suite are
1, Firewall
2, Program Control
3, Antivirus
4, Antispyware
5, Antispam
6, Privacy
7, Identity Protection
8, Parental Control
Firewall
As far as firewall is concerned.ZA is the best in the business. Nothing can compete with ZA.It offers duel protection (Both inbound& Outwards).Second place goes to Outpost firewall & Norton...
Program Control
This is an excellent feature that decides which programs installed in PC can access Internet & which can act as server. U can set priority to individual programs installed.U can also set priority & rights to services &individual components.
Antivirus
Antivirus is provided by Computer Associates (CA).Antivirusis good as far as I am concerned (It is rated relatively low on sites).It iscapable of scanning ZIP & RAR files..It scans the PC in relatively swift manner.
Antispyware
I accept that Antispyware is on relatively weaker side. This is the only weak pt in ZA .u can easily get rid of spyware by installing Adaware (Freeware).
Antispam
I don’t use Outlook/Outlook Express. So don’t use ZA’sAntispam feature. I keep it Off Always.
Privacy
Cookie control, ad blocking, mobile code control, cache cleaner and others.All features are great & work well.
Identity Protection
Protects ur Credit card details & other important information from hacking sites.
Parental Control
U can block websites of certain type.
Spy Site Blocking
Prevents spyware from getting on your PC by blocking its primary source: spyware distribution websites.
Resource Usage
I used each & Every Security Suite available and ZA is the one which consumes less resource than any other suite. Booting is not delayed much. Compared to Norton this ZA consumes very less RAM only. this suite is rated best by Cnet (Download.com).u can trust Cnet and me too…GO FOR ZA & SURF SAFER…
