GBThis company have lost their way. This company have lost their way. They used to provide a firewall product which allowed you to control individual programs and an AV which was light and efficient. However, the software is now just a page of "It's fine, don't worry about it" and "would you like fries with that?" On uninstalling, the company really shows its new colours... There are literally hundreds of registry entries which are not removed. So unfortunately ZA has just gone the way of the other big dodgy AV companies... What they seem to fail to realise is that what they now offer is far worse than the built-in Windows services, with no benefits. Avoid.

GBZone alarm is worse than 5 years ago… Zone alarm is worse than 5 years ago when i paid them for the service One might think that a site I have visited 10.000 times in the last 10 years might be recognised but no not even a simple google search is allowed these folks really need to pull their creative heads from the deep dark place they seem to keep them. Totally worthless in the free form thus why would i purchase the vetted version. Very irritating subset program, oh it changes for no reason from day to day also one day google is great the next day failure wake up and no accept your bs terms haha idiots

GBDo NOT install if you watch any online videos If you watch any online videos, to include YouTube, please DO NOT install ZoneAlarm. My laptop isn't fast (1.86Ghz to be exact), but I was able to watch any online videos without interruption before I installed ZoneAlarm. I did not think it was Zone Alarm that caused the issue, after all, it was only an antivirus software. I deleted Zone Alarm to test it out, and instantly, after a reboot, I was able to watch videos without interruption. The speed felt rejuvenated to youth again. Thank goodness I didn't pay for a year subscription.

GBUnderhand and questionable auto renewal practices I received an auto renewal notice for my Anti Virus subscription today. 1) I never ever enable auto renewal 2) the links they gave to cancel the renewal were not direct and there was still additional navigation to a different URL to cancel the auto renewal. Basically these are highly dubious business practices to retain their revenue. When did checkpoint become such a nefarious underhand company to deal with? You can bet that the only reason I got the renewal notice was because under UK contract law, they are obliged to do so. The CMA also state they should make it easy to cancel auto renewal, it wasn't, the link provided did not take me straight to where i needed to go, I had to navigate my way to another website entirely to do this. Cheap dodgy practices means that I will never use them again. If you currently use Zonealarm, i urge you to check the auto renewal status of your subscription and cancel it if you do not require it. Like I said, I NEVER keep auto renewal enabled when I sign up to a subscription service, so how did that happen ..hmmmmmm
