  Duration of ownership: 3 Weeks

  Strengths: Fairly simple interface. Highly confirgurable.

  Weaknesses: Does not 'play nice' with my router.

  Overall Evaluation: I have mixed feelings about this program. Although it was failrly easy to configure, it was a nightmare trying to access my router's webpage. Even after shutting down the firewall, I had to completely uninstall the program before I could change my router's settings. So...if you use a direct connection, this could be a good firewall program for you. If you have a router however, you may be better off with something else.

  Duration of ownership: 6 Months

  Strengths: none

  Weaknesses: I bought for about $20.00 their A/V only. That was all I wanted. I bought 6.X. When they put out 7.x and told us to come get a free upgrade, they gave us the whole suite, which rapidly ground my computer to a halt, checking every file upon launch. I ditched it for A/V 7.5 free, and have had no more hassles.

  Overall Evaluation: It's my computer. If all I want to install is the A/V, then that's it, and leave me alone.

  Strengths:

  Weaknesses: Installation program is incompatible with CA Antivirus and requires you to delete the antivirus program before it can install Zone Alarm. Then you cannot reinstall CA Antivirus because it requires you to delete Zone Alarm.

  Overall Evaluation: Zone Alarm is useless if you own CA Antivirus 2007.

  Duration of ownership: 9 Months

  Strengths: Worked for a while - but requires much effort

  Weaknesses: Poor user help, uninstall only partially works, could not reinstall, Promises rebate but 10 months later no money.

  Overall Evaluation: Took a long time to set up a shared internet connection requiring much searching of the blogs. Would not stop trying to update with auto update turned off. Causes your machine to take a long time to boot. Uninstall does not clean all information off of the machine. Even instructions from their tech service including registry modifications did not allow it to reinstall. Finally gave up due to spending more time than the program was worth. Incidently Norton and Mcafee only took minor intuitive changes to make internet connection sharing work. If buy with expectation of a rebate, forget it. I submitted all required rebate information over 9 months ago and still no $50. Have resent numerous times and contacted the rebate company and Zone Alarm and get nowhere.
