 NICE TOOL WITH FUTURE POTENTIALS Nov 08, 2005
By VAL ODUENYI
In the world of software, efficiency matters. And despite its lesser known name, the "ZoneAlarm Antivirus 2006" package remains one of the most potent antiviral software available today. The news that this supposedly antivirus package comes with an equally effective internet security firewall will gladden the hearts of its users.
Quite unlike other newly introduced packages, there are few but negligible bugs in this software. And with its relatively cheap retail price, such a minor issue could be easily accommodated. Twice I have installed this software, twice I was impressed by how smooth the entire procedure ran. Not even the most notable names in antiviral software have produced anything that has positively surprised me in this regard. I experienced zero hang-ups, zero blue screens: and no incompatibility hassles whatsoever, emerged.
Apart from the fact that this software slows down system performance, as it runs in the background, there is nothing that I can honestly accuse it of. Even at that, all utility software (including antiviral and firewall ones) are famous for draining performance resources: and this suite did it to a lesser extent when compared to either 'Norton' or 'McAfee'.
One more thing aspiring users of this product should note is that you have to deactivate your operating system's firewall, if you intend to use the firewall component of this suite. This last statement applies only to those who are running Windows XP (be it Home or Professional edition). Failure to do this will likely create more conflicts and other related problems.
Overall, this is a fine piece of software to use. It silently executes its responsibilities with minimal strain on your hardware. It is an utility programme, which is likely to get better as future editions emerge.

 Easy to use Mar 18, 2006
By J. Miller

I found this easy to set up, anyone should be able to do it. It walks you through everything and makes suggestions about what you should do if you're not sure. I've had no problems with it on my computer, it doesn't slow anything down and it found and fixed a virus the first day I ran it. Very good product for the price.

Just got it... seems to be a good product Feb 08, 2006
By SAC123
My Norton 2002 antivirus had expired and they were no longer supporting an update for that version. You need to buy a new version of theirs, and from everything I have heard, it is very problematic! I did some research. Doesn't seem like too many people like most of the popular anti-virus products out there. This one from Zone Alarm,however, does well in the reviews; not only here on Amazon but on other sites I checked out. Additionally, I had used a free trial version of their firewall last summer and liked that.
Installed this tonight (which was extremely easy). I can't imagine most people needing to contact 'Support' for the install. It was very user friendly, downloaded an 'update' and was all set in about 30 minutes. Then ran a full scan and that only took about 30 minutes too (unlike Norton which ran for almost 2 hours last time I used it!!).
Bottom line, I would recommend this. Also, the price is right (old Norton users are intitled to a $10 rebate with proof!) So 4 stars for now, until I've actually used it for a while....

Easy to use and inexpensive anti-virus software Dec 28, 2005
By C. Urban
I really liked how easy it was to set up the software on my computer and how user friendly it is. I also liked the price point, since it's a little less expensive than the other big brands but still has all that you need in an anti-virus software.

 Anti Virus subscription is only 6 months Jun 09, 2006
By R. Odenweller
Product seems to work good except: 1) tells me I am not registered, yet I am and all functionality works. 2) No email support. 3) Initial antivius subscription is only for 6 months. Clicking on the renew button takes you to a "The page cannot be displayed" page. On the website, renewing is $34.95/year.
