This company have lost their way. This company have lost their way. They used to provide a firewall product which allowed you to control individual programs and an AV which was light and efficient. However, the software is now just a page of "It's fine, don't worry about it" and "would you like fries with that?" On uninstalling, the company really shows its new colours... There are literally hundreds of registry entries which are not removed. So unfortunately ZA has just gone the way of the other big dodgy AV companies... What they seem to fail to realise is that what they now offer is far worse than the built-in Windows services, with no benefits. Avoid.

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!

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.

Cannot remove their Harmony folder Removed their software because it was slowing my pc. Now I cannot remove their Harmony folder from my pc or backup drive.

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
