Advice Request What is the difference between ZoneAlarm Web Secure Free vs Paid?

[JB007]

Hello,
My question is on the title: what is the difference between ZoneAlarm Web Secure and ZoneAlarm Web Secure Free ?

 

[ErzCrz]

I can't see any difference unless one comes with their full paid security suite package. This looks to be like other site advisor extensions. Personally I prefer Bitdefender Traffic Light which does the same thing and is very good and also free

I am pretty sure they are the same, one is just made for users using the paid product, because when trying to use the Web Secure variant it says you need zonealarm installed (Antivirus/Extreme Security)

I don't see a paid-for version, it's free to use.

They do have one which it will prompt you to get when you get their anti ransomware product or endpoint solutions which you can only use if it detects youre using the anti ransomware or any of their endpoint solutions, I tested it and it just would not work, it said it didnt detect any zonealarm products on my computer, it only worked when I tried out their anti ransomware product.

Thanks @EndangeredPootis
And do you think that it is better to use the free version than the "paid" one ?

Can you send the link for the paid-for version?

Found a source.

It's amazing, yesterday here ZoneAlarm Web Secure Free when I looked at "similar items" at the back of the page I found "Check Point SandBlast Agent" and also "ZoneAlarm Web Secure" without the addition of "free" but today this "not free" disappeared and at the back of the page there is only "Check Point SandBlast Agent"
