An O.C.D. anti virus program
I have used this program for a couple of years and it is really annoying. First, I hate its updates, its locking my machine when it decides to do an update, stops Acrobat from running, stops the whole the machine if I step away and here is the worst.. it checks itself and stops its own scanning program from launching. Norton finally looking good again!

Not Again
I've had Zone Alarm for about 6 months and will not renew. Is it effective in preventing viruses? Maybe. I avoid as much as I can exposure to potential sources but can say I seem not to have had any inhabit my computer. In this regard it may be doing its job.

What I dislike is a feature that drove me away from Norton, the popup message that it was scanning my email, I felt Norton was simply using that opportunity to promote themselves and now Zone Alarm does the same - slowly. It should run in the background but instead takes center stage and prevents me from accessing any other programs until it is done. If I have a large number of messages in my in-box it will scan them each time I open Outlook, even if they have been scanned before.

The thing that troubles me most, however, is that I may not do a complete system reboot for 2 or 3 days. When I do, Zone Alarm claims it's anti-virus is out of date and needs to be updated. Why isn't this happening in the background real time? Am I 2-3 days out of date and at potential risk for infection because Zone Alram is not routinely checking for updates?

great product, and....but.....
and Amazon's version was a great price, but out-of-date. Thankfully, the company upgraded me to the current version without additional cost. I am very happy with their antivirus product...easy updates, easy to scan. A small reminder: when installing the product, one must type in the license key to activate everything. In my case, a 'vertical bar' was cryptic...was it a number "1"? a small "L" or a capital "I"??? Took me several tries and some e-mail with the company to figure it out. That was my biggest/only complaint.

ZoneAlarm AntiVirus
One can not separate the antivirus from the firewall. If you would like to continue to use the firewall, but not the antivirus you must delete the whole thing. The antivirus is not that good, it missed a virus that (free) Trend remote scanner caught.

Zone Alarm Anti Virus
So far, so good. The software installed easily, but I wish it would have wiped out traces of the Norton A-V software. Even with uninstall, there are traces that of Norton that ZoneAlarm flags as potentially dangerous. Slowly we are tracking them down or quarantining them.

There's a feature that allows the user to set security levels for each program used on the PC. Nice. But for us non-experts, it's daunting to try to determine what settings to use. I had a few glitches with ZOneAlarm's default settings (too conservative?)
