ZONEALARM...Anybody here use it?
 

I downloaded the free trial of the zonealarm suite and it seems to do very well. I might buy it after my trial ends...Anybody else here using it?

yeah its a good program kasperskys good also

I found it not as effective as Kaspersky

Not since I learned that it was about as useful as Norton AntiVirus, and only half as debilitating. Software firewalls will always be shit. If you need protection, get a NAT box. You're probably running one, already. Got a popup problem? Stop clicking random EXEs and using Internet Explorer.

Those simple rules lost me thousands of rebills for (re)-fixing shit. :(

People still use that? I hadn't touched it since Win98.

forget about zonealarm... use outpost instead.

So what do you use?

I use Zonealarm, never had a problem.
you have to take the time to set it up and set permissions, that is what people don't like, that and the pop ups when it asks permission for a program to access the net when maybe it shouldn't.

use EZ firewall, it looks exactly like zonealarm without some useless shit i cant remember

Zonealarm caused a myriad of problems...more than it solved, everytime I installed it (even the paid-for version I splashed out for awhile ago).

It may be fine for noobs and those who don't know any better, but for me I wasn't overly thrilled with various aspects.

it's a pain in the ass, my wife still uses it asn it blocks to many things.

i just use the firewall in the router.

My ping on counterstrike went from 70ms to 250ms with that POS.

works good for me

Zonealarm + Spyware Doctor is a wonderfult combination
