Zone Alarm 15th Anniversary Giveaway: A Review
Well the below was quite awhile ago...
Just to kinda review....
ZA has definitely improved
The old ZA I used use to lock my entire machine, the reason was it was the first application to load and it screen EVERYTHING else.
This makes sense from a security stand point but is bollocks in terms of usability.
Not surprisingly it was the next thing I CLEANED from my comp ;)
But this new one is rather nice. Same old comp but much better performance from the desktop firewall =)
Also they are running something called defensenet. Where they collect daily, your system specs.
I opted out.
I do know what they are trying to do and it is not malicious.
They are likely to be doing either datamining or some form of trend analysis.
Which is a good thing =)
Still I was more concern about the load. If it were a weekly load i would be more willing. =D
Overall usability wise definitely not bad and the load is not too heavy.
Why Should One have a desktop firewall?
Say you get infected by trojans? The firewall actually allows you to lock down your out going connections, it also allows you to block incoming connections from outside, nefarious or not ;) Oh btw Singnet is still scanning.
