Underhand 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

horrible horrible, once you uninstall, it leave all leftover tools running on services at task manager, and there is no solution to remove checkpoint or zone alarm ransomware protection. running wise, its horrible. do not download and fall for free service.

Zone 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

The program is dated resource hog. I have a high-end specs gaming desktop I use for work but nevertheless, ZA makes it suffer. I have used ZA since 2009, but this is becoming ridiculous. UI design is super dated and hasn't been updated since 2012, despite users begging for years for optimisation and change. Stay away!

Good Software Gone Bad In the beginning, Zonealarm was a very good firewall. However, it's grown into a monster writing thousands of temporary files in less than two weeks of use on a new laptop. The ability to control installed software, from companies that poke around in your computer, under the guise that they're giving you a 'better experience' is gone. These are two major issues that have brought me to dump Zone Alarm permanently.
