“This is the great Zone Alarm firewall with the spyscanner built in. Exactly the same as the Zone Alarm Pro, except there is no Privacy or content filtering. The content filtering is easily replaced by the content filtering of the browser themselves such as FirFox or Opera. The component control and the OSFirewall is present. Does well in leak tests and is excellent for securing the Windows OS.”
“I run all kinds of antispyware apps and this one found Wild Tangent on the first run. I got this not for the antispyware but because it is a ZA firewall for 20 bucks less. I'll take that any day. If your looking for an all in one antispy look elsewere, but the firewall is the best place to start.”
“Very good product all in all. I do find myself in agreement with some of the commentary about the change of ownership but of late they seem to be regaining some of the quality of Zone Labs. Supporting a complex product that was not created within your own organization is a bear. As one who as often been in the position of doing so, I will state that success is highly dependent on many factors such as the quality and quantity of the internal documentation and training provided by the orginators and whether the business arrangement between the companies facilitated the retention of key staff members from the originators organization.”
