 Most secure program available., 2007-12-22
Zonealarm is a product I have been using since 1999. I first heard of it from a friend and neighbor who is very educated in programming code, hacking methods and computer security. I went and bought the program for my first computer that summer, and have not been without it since.
Few programs can boast of its ability to keep out a hacker and keep your computer from picking up trojans such as the Zlob trojan which is notorious for getting through McAfee et all for the first couple of days, trying to get you to buy spy doctor, anti-vermins and other annoying programs. These types of malicious software are usually picked up from surfing websites which otherwise may appear as genuine.
Zonealarm now also has the ability to encrypt AIM, Yahoo, and MSN messenger conversations sent between two computers, which are both using Zonealarm. This is, obviously, very useful if you work in any area which needs secure connections for sending confidential data between employees without having to use the intranet, like law firms, accounting offices, credit card bureaus, banks etc. I personally, will not risk using another program to try and attempt this while communicating sensitive information at my work or helping my family with their banking.
The rumors of computer slowdown from this program is unlikely to occur on your computer unless it has 300 megabytes of RAM or less. I run Zonealarm on all 5 of my laptops which range from 512 megabytes to 4 gigs and none of them have noticeably decreased in their running speed at all.
For all the gamers out there, it also now have a window which will appear to let your connection through without having to actually exit your game to configure the firewall. No other program, to my knowledge, does this.
Zonealarm's anti-spyware is also known to detect most, if not all professional keyloggers, some of which are deliberately overlooked my other programs to make it more compatable with employers who spy on employees.
I cannot recommend this program more highly. Don't fool around with your sensitive information, computer stability and credit card information, get Zonealarm and keep it updated.

 What is everyones issue?, 2007-12-18
I rarely write reviews for anything, but after reading so many reviews with complaints about this product I felt that I needed to. I've used ZoneAlarm for years. Last year I was given 6 free licenses from Microsoft for Windows Live OneCare promotion when it first came out. I used it for a year and it worked fine but when the subscription expired I went back to ZoneAlarm.
Upon installing it I found that first off my boot time didn't slow down it actually got better. I've installed it on all three of my businesses computers, two having XP Pro SP2 and one having Vista Home Premium. All the PCs have fairly different specs and they all run smoothly with it.
It uses up little resources and found more spyware than OneCare's antispyware did.
It also gives me more control over the programs running on my computer, and I like that it warns me when someone tries to access my computer. When it comes to very basic users I would probably steer clear of it just because all the options could be confusing, so I recommend Onecare to them, but when it comes to people with a clue about computers I recommend ZoneAlarm. Its proven itself to be reliable and secure. I also like that it offers privacy protection (Though thats not available on the Vista version which is a bit of a downside, hence why they lost a star.)

Great Product, 2007-12-10
I saw the negative reviews and could not believe it. I have been using Zone Alarm Security Suite for a couple of years and have had none of the problems others mentioned. It is a fantastic firewall and is great at weeding out and eliminating spyware and viruses. The junk mail filtering is not worth much however. You can schedule how often it updates virus and spyware definitions or even only do it when you say. It does not drag down my 3 computers at any time - even while it is scanning for viruses and spyware. From what the other reviewers said, I suspect that the problems they have reported are due to other issues than Zone Alarm. It is often difficult to isolate the culprit.

 Constant Update, 2007-12-09
There really is in my opinion the only thing that I liked above other security software is the email checking.
On the negative side the software is constantly updating itself which on my PC slowed it down or stopped other use. When doing a virus check with only 25G in use it would completely stop all other use for over an hour (I could play solitare if I didn't change games).

Slow bootup problem solved, 2007-11-22
I don't often write reviews, but the negative reviews on this program are so disturbing that I wanted to share one positive experience here.
I use it on two four-year-old Dell computers, neither of which is very fast, and it performs very nicely. It has a non-intrusive, streamlined interface, does what it's supposed to, and the price is right.
The slow bootup problem existed in an earlier version and (as other reviewers have pointed out) is solved in version 7.0.408.000.
Frankly, I don't understand the negattive reviews at all.
