Softpedia Editor's Review for ZoneAlarm Security Suite
|
Complete protection for your PC in a single, comprehensive program
Written by Elena Opris on November 25th, 2011
ZoneAlarm Security Suite is a tool that provides you with complete protection for your PC against viruses, spyware, spam, phishing, and identity theft.
During installation, ZoneAlarm offers to install a so-called browser security toolbar.
The interface is intuitive, and it shouldn't be a problem for users of any experience level to navigate through ZoneAlarm.
In Overview you can see the current status of the Advanced Firewall and Anti-virus/Anti-Spyware.
The Preferences section lets you check for product updates (manually or automatically), set password for lock down and parental control, or backup and restore data.
The level of the firewall can be adjusted for both Internet zone security and trusted zone security, but you can also assign malicious network to a blocked zone security.
The Program Control section is where you can set the trust level for each program installed on your computer, but also set Zone Alarm to automatically learn the level of security it should offer, enable automatic Internet lock, and set SmartDefense Advisor to configure program access.
A one-time scan can be performed to clean the baseline of the computer of any idle viruses or root kits. It runs in the background and can either be a normal or a deep scan.
Furthermore, you can schedule a scan at a specific time interval, as a quick scan, normal scan, deep scan, or super scan.
E-mails are supervised by Outbound MailSafe Protection, and Junk E-mail Filter is enabled, while the Identity Protection level can be adjusted to prevent fraud.
The help and support system is well developed, and users are provided with online technical assistance at request.
CPU and memory usage varies, according to the task assigned to ZoneAlarm.
Our tests went great on the 15-day trial, and ZoneAlarm managed to locate and remove viruses and spyware. But it seems to use a lot of resources on the long-term, and that can put a strain on any system.
All in all, ZoneAlarm Security Suite is certainly a strong Internet security suite, and we highly recommend you try it.
