ZoneAlarm Antivirus

Virenscanner

Zonealarm Antivirus, in comparison with other Anti-Virus software, only protects your computer from viruses, not Spyware or Adware. You can find those features inside ZoneAlarm’s Internet Security Suite. But, included with their Anti-Virus is a 2-way firewall which is a bit unusual in comparison to other Anti-Virus software.

Virus recognition rates are good, making ZoneAlarm Anti-Virus equal to its competitors. Some negative aspects of this software are its extremely long virus scans and the not very user friendly interface. In addition, users get distracted by unnecessary warning messages.

Advantages

  • Very good firewall
  • Good virus recognition rate

Disadvantages

  • Slow scanning speed
  • A bit confusing user interface
  • No Spyware modulel

Summary:

Unfortunately, ZoneAlarm Anti-Virus has a bit of catching up to do as far as its user interface is concerned. Novices may need some time to find their way around. Their very good firewall is a definite plus.

Actually, I only know Zone Alarm as a firewall which I have been using for a long time. Will be testing the Anti-Virus in the future.
