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.

a while ago i stupidly possibly ticked… a while ago i stupidly possibly ticked a box for auto-renew. Can I get through to cancel... no way. User name/password reset does not work. I cannot find a way to block payment via Paypal. Current "summer offers " are cheaper than renewal options. A right nightmare of a company . Have used Sophos without issue

Zone alarm melts your PC Zone alarm used to be great 10 years ago. I installed it recently because I was tired of Comodo interfering with other programs and me having to disable it regularly to play some games... When i installed ZoneAlarm i was satisfied initially. It does fulfill it's function. However, it somehow manages to make my PC suffer more than a UltraHD FPS. I was having issues with lag everytime I open Firefox because it seems to analyse every bite that comes through, in other words it's extremely unefficient. The breaking point was 5min ago when I got a Blue Screen Of Death because of it. NEVER AGAIN

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

Check all your drives Check all your drives. Zonealarm creates hidden folders called SandBlastBackup and then picks personal files based on your internet surfing and document usage and stores them. (for what?) You cannot delete them until you uninstall Zonealarm. This is beyond shady and lame. It is a complete failure to respect consumer privacy and should be illegal. CheckPoint software is MALWARE! Do not be fooled by their clever language. They are spying on you and using your files and identity WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE. I found 3 sensitive business documents in one of these folders. There is NOTHING they can say to make that acceptable. Absolutely DISTURBING.
