How long have you been using ZoneAlarm? I guess you don't know what you are talking. I used ZoneAlarm (free version) for a year (about 5 years ago) then changed to the professional version for 2 years, since then I have upgraded to the ZoneAlarm Security Suite. It is one of the best firewall, anti-spyware, anti-virus software around (check reviews on this software). Unless you are still using dial-up, then maybe you don't need it (firewall) but if you were using Broadband (always on) you must have a firewall to protect you PC.
im just using Zone because. im sick and tired of SPYWARE QUAKE and all the bad stuff. It seems to be doing its job
one doesnt require the pro version. Sometimes the best things are free and work effectively......and that is exactly what the basic free version does.
I agree with you 100% if you only want a basic firewall. The pro version give you additional functions not included in the free version. As for the security suite it has firwall, anti-spyware and anti-virus. I think it is better to have one program that has all these functions than have 3 different programs doing 3 different functions.
security and internet suites are good because its all there...however..i prefer having a separate app specializing for each...dont know many ppl that use zones security suite...but alota ppl i know use and i've implemented nortons suite with alota of success....
