Deacon Bill Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 I bought a new PC a few months ago that came with a 90 day free trial of McAfee antivirus. That 90 days is about up. While I have had no problems with McAfee, I've always had Norton antivirus before (which I preferred). My cable company is now offering a 60 day free trial of ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite. Packaged with my other cable benefits (cable modem, phone service, HD channels, etc.) the ZoneAlarm would be considerably less expensive annually. Does anyone here know about or heard of ZoneAlarm before I make the switch? Here's more info if you need to look it over. ZoneAlarm Hopefully the link works. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I Like Soup Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 ZoneAlarm is sweet. I've never liked Norton or McAffee because, firstly, they are lower ranked typically, and secondly, the memory footprint and intrusions by those softward bundles is unacceptable, in my opinion.

SF409ers Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 It will work very well, the antivirus is powered by Kaspersky which make an excellent antivirus software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonkis Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Panda is the best one I've found. I think it's on H8's list, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I use Zone Alarm Security Suite. Switched from Trend Micro last year as Trend got overly expensive to renew IMO. I bought the 3-computer family pack for a deal that was running a few months back. Zone Alarm actually uses Kaspersky Anti-Virus which is well rated. I like the easy internet lock and interface and its a name to trust. The firewall has been around for years. The spyware is just so-so because it takes a while to run, but its found things that Ad-Aware did not. I haven't found any issues with gaming so long as you use the "Game Mode".
