It is advised to take all reviews with a grain of salt. In extreme cases some reviews use dramatization for entertainment purposes.

ZoneAlarm (paid version only) , Bitdefender (both free and paid versions) and Eset :)
Wow! That was the last thing I expected you to say.

I thought people here at MWT thought Zonealrm was trash...

Can you expound on why, ZoneAlarm has gained your attention, and what version of ZoneAlarm you recommend. I don't mind paying for a good product.

CheckPoint has improved its ability to detect unknown malware and has integrated engines that were previously reserved for the Enterprise version (the version I use, by the way :) ).

In my last test, ZoneAlarm rendered a machine totally clean :) the Sophos engine can be a nuisance, but as it integrates emulation systems + Cloud/ML, Sophos is not a nuisance.

As for the version, go for the most complete version, which is NextGen Extreme Security. The free version is useless and I haven't tested the other versions.
