Zonealarm security fee software#

Longtime ZoneAlarm users will feel at home immediately with the program, since it looks nearly identical to Zone Labs' firewall-only offerings. A left-hand column provides one-click access to the program's main modules-Firewall, Program Control, and Antivirus-and the configuration options are clearly explained and easy to change. The ZoneAlarm with Antivirus interface is excellent. ZoneAlarm with Antivirus's main screen displays an easy-to-read snapshot of firewall and antivirus activity. Unlike Norton AntiVirus 2004, however, ZoneAlarm with Antivirus doesn't perform a preinstallation scan, which would be an added measure of protection. For instance, the program automatically scans your system for viruses after setup, but you can cancel this scan if you wish.

A configuration wizard leads you through setup, making it easy for everyday users to secure their systems fast. Installing ZoneAlarm with Antivirus is child's play. But for students and home users who simply want solid yet very basic security for their PCs, ZoneAlarm with Antivirus is a winner. Limitations? ZoneAlarm with Antivirus doesn't block ads, manage cookies, or have all the perks of pricier security suites, including Zone Labs' own ZoneAlarm Security Suite, of course. Not only does the new ZoneAlarm with Antivirus shield against viruses and hacker attacks, it does so for the rock-bottom price of $19.95.

While Trend Micro and other antivirus software vendors have already taken the logical step of combining antivirus and firewall protection into one program, ZoneAlarm resisted the urge to merge-until now. Zone Labs' popular ZoneAlarm firewall, available in both free and fee versions, has always been a lone wolf in the realm of PC security.
