Editor's review of ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite

• 5.0 stars

• "A one-stop security solution"

ZoneAlarm Internet Security 2009 requires a small initial download that in turn launches a full download of the latest version of the program from Check Point. Installation requires a reboot. A helpful wizard walks you through the initial setup.

The new interface is cleaner, less complicated, and more modern. The other new features within ZoneAlarm Internet Security 2009 are less visible and mostly under the hood. Boot time is much faster in this latest version, as are the individual scans for antivirus (using the Kaspersky Anti-Virus engine) and antispyware (Check Point's own engine). The suite includes spam protection from SonicWall, and, of course, Check Point's award-winning firewall. The paid edition includes identity-protection coverage. Missing is antiphishing and safe-browsing protection; these are available from Check Point Force Field and not yet a part of the ZoneAlarm Internet Security suite.

ZoneAlarm Internet Security 2009 does include an uninstall icon in the All Programs listing, and uninstalls cleanly. But keeping the 15-day trial installed might be a better idea; if you do decide not to purchase the full program at $49, Check Point keeps the basic ZoneAlarm firewall active on your desktop.

  "Cannot stand anymore zone alarm "updates""

  by c l edwards on August 26, 2008

  Pros: The early versions of zone alarm were OK.

  Cons: Their following updates were dysfunctional and worked at cross purposes to the rest of the operating system. Their customer service is non-existent.

  "only anti-virus I would pay for."

  by jimmurray1946 on August 25, 2008

  Pros: I have had no problems since upgrading my free version to the paid suite. It is very quick to block a threat and lets you know what its doing and why its doing it. Especially good a closing the door on p2p site threats.

  Cons: full scan is S- L- O- W- but extremely thorough

  "Has stability issues"

  by rkirkcaldy on August 30, 2008

  Pros: More modern interface gives the product a cleaner appearance.

  Cons: Upgrade from previous version did not go smoothly ended up uninstalling / reinstalling. A number of BSDs / mysterious lockups / crashes. Slow start up time. First scan takes ages. Interface issues - with initiating the screen / setting spam options.

  Summary: While it certainly looks better, its a disappointing "upgrade" - a security product should be rock solid and should not cause as many stability issues as this has. Until these are addressed existing users would be best sticking with the previous ver... read more >>
