Performance and Upgrade Headache:

Based on reviews and recommendations, I tried ZoneAlarm for the last two years. Upgrades have almost always had problems. These are well documented in the ZoneAlarm forums. They seem to push out updates, sometimes automatically, before they are well tested. Specifically, I've had to continually workaround a known conflict with the Cisco VPN software that I use. The performance for the ZoneAlarm software has gotten increasingly worse. I have since switched to the latest Norton Internet Security 2009, which... more info

Nightmare on Vista Street:

This product works reasonably well on XP, but on Vista it's a WHOLE different story. I have never used a product that has caused me so much grief and frustration. What's wrong?
1. Frequently shuts down all HTTP traffic for no reason. Happens every so often, randomly.
2. Every once in a while it denies access to all programs, so clicking on any icon results in a message saying you're not authorized. Only cure is to reboot.
3. When updating itself from the internet (often), everything else on... more info

zone alarm - DO NOT BUY:

I would give this a ZERO RATING if possible. NOT COMPATIBLE with Spyware Doctor (A totally excellent program!). ZONE ALARM customer service is below terrible. Never had these problems with NORTON INTERNET SECURITY. Also - Zone Alarm Customer Service said there were OTHER SERIOUS problems with Zone Alarm 8.

Best of the Suites:

I started with PCTools many years ago, then moved to Norton (who bought out PCTools) but when I realized it was bringing my system to a crawl about 6 years ago, took the Editor's Choice of ZoneAlarm and haven't looked back. Regarding the one star ratings here, all I can say is that whenever there is either a new operating system or service pack or conflicts with new programs, yes, there's going to be a bump in the road, but ZoneLabs has ALWAYS made things right and done so quickly. I am running Vista SP1... more info
