Advantages: Nice Packaging

Disadvantages: It might of cleared some major viruses but whats the point when It goes and Lets maybe 1 major virus in., The program itself makes the computer run worse.

Where can I start with this absolute mock of software. Now I spend at least 40 hours a week on the WWW so I know what I am talking about when I rate any internet software.
I won't mension any names but I was using A FREE anti virus along side a decent FIREWALL which I really recommend (Zone Alarm,Check EBAY).
Anyway with these two programs working along sided each other My PC was running BRILLIANT. Not a bit of trouble for months.
Now there wouldn't have been any trouble at all if I didn't decide to use This terrible package.
There are too many virus's out there for this ridiculous effort at an anti-virus.
It's nothing personal, its just not up to the job.
It took me a while to get my PC fine again, but I am back to my old methods and My PC is ace.
And 1 more thing to add to this review.
Norton want approx £40. WHAT??????

This review does not hold a lot of credibilty as you recommend a firewall that is worse than nortons.
Here are just some of the many problems with Zone Alarm

There are many more reports of problems with Zone Alarm around the internet, the only solultion is to remove it.
Outpost Pro , Sygate or kerio are a much better choice.

if your PC can't run norton then you have a serious problem or need an upgrade. The free version of zone Alarm is adequate but it offers nowhere near the features or protection of Norton in the right hands, and the anti virus of Norton is not the best out there but it is probably the second best.

I use this software on my computer but I have heard some bad things about it... Haven't personally had any problems with it, but I haven't had it that long. Good review, I shall be wary..
