You are paying over $600.00 in ten years, almost $300. in 5 years for a firewall. At the end of the year you DO NOT own the software. If you stop paying you lost it all. You are better off purchasing hardware for the same cost. Stay away from unnecessary subscription based apps. It simply is a waste of money. Antivirus software is subscription because updates on virus definitions are done. Firewalls need NONE.... Just silly to throw your money away on this.

These people are scammers. They claimed I had trojans on my network and tried to sell me extra products for £149.99. Whilst pretending to remove the trojans they damaged my operating system and totally disabled my laptop. It will now have to go in for repair. Avoid these people and don't let them access your computer

I uninstalled Zonealrm on 2 PC's a few months ago. I check my PC's for new files regularly to watch for malware etc and Zonealrm even after unistallation downloads daily security updates on both PC's. Considering Zone-alarm has had a data breach its very concerning that even though I have chosen to delete their product from my PC they are still gathering data from my PC's so if a data breach happened again I might be effected, which is crazy considering I have deleted their service months ago.

I used to rely on ZoneAlarm. It used to be a great program. Now it's like bloatware. All it does is slow down your computer. Videos always...ALWAYS glitch. I'm on the fastest broadband available in the Pacific North West. Uninstalling is a nightmare. Check Point Endpoint Forensic Recorder cannot be removed. What are they stealing from me? I want this off of my computer NOW! And I don't want to have to reinstall windows to do it. I shouldn't have to.

Installs and runs background apps that cause massive stutters and slowdowns, regardless of your CPU power. Their anti-ransomware fills up your disk every time you have the audacity to actually use the Internet. Can't fully remove without a Windows reset/reinstall (or a lot of looking into hidden folders to delete components manually). Broke my Windows and now I have to deal with the cursed netio.sys BSOD far too often. I had been using ZoneAlarm on-and-off for over a decade, but the software is disastrous at the moment and I won't be returning.

PC Free, Network Freeze, features don't work -- enough said

DO NOT INSTALL - CANT FULLY REMOVE - WILL SLOW SYSTEM - WILL CONTINUE TO RUN SANDBLAST. WASTING SO MUCH OF MY TIME TO FIX. Finally resolved by safe mode restart and removing components manually.

Used to be quite good but lately seems to be going downhill. I use it on my laptop which tends to get used as and when. Sometimes weeks go by. When that happens, on start up, Zonealarm informs me that a security update is overdue. Very good. But then it gets dumb at that point. Does it go off and get the update, like most apps do? Nah, it just sits there waiting for YOU to manually initiate the update. And it gets them real slow. Not certain why as this isn't exactly a slow connection. And do watch out for auto renewal. I suddenly found I'd had one done. Can't recall getting any emails etc to say one was going to happen. As such, log in online and delete it. Or pay by debit card. At least that way I can delete any unwanted debits on my card by myself. The joys of online banking. I'll be looking at another product I think,
