Hello,
Seems that they released Update two days ago, but no news about the final 2021 version. When i tested the beta, it was really buggy.

Kind regards,

Does ZoneAlarm Free continue to use Kaspersky?

Can you use both ZA Free AV and ZA Free Firewall together?

 

[sepik]

@Spawn
Yes you can. More information Here.
It's basic firewall without Pro features, and it uses Kaspersky's old "engine".

Kind regards,

This one has no AV, correct?

You are correct, there's no AV on the free firewall; the free antivirus does have the free firewall, however.

Anyone can test thier paid product (ZoneAlarm Extrem Security) in Malware Hub ?

The last time I used a ZoneAlarm product, my operating system at the time (Windows XP) had a glorious, all-encompassing meltdown of Titanic proportions. And that's when I really started to learn about computers!

Tested just know, uninstalled in 10 min because is lighter to use: Kaspersky + Dr. Web + G Data all in one product then use ZoneAlarm (I don't have a problem with network speed or browsing but with program loads and BOOT TIME)

and if I`m not wrong, some of thier key people are from or have a past Mossad

 

[gery79]

i dont care about mossad or cia or anything as i am not a terrorist or a businessman or anything but i miss the good old days of za

i am really really interested in the product but i see a shadow of obscurantism in the way they develop it. I wish they were more active

And it is too heavy. Anyway, it is more expensive that Kaspersky is. I would use Kaspersky over it.

I'm actually surprised they still develop the product because I hardly know anyone who uses it and also does not know of a better product. It does not have any selling point whatsoever, because it is not a leader in anything - protection, performance or features....The product has been consistently heavy as far back as I can remember tbh.

It's Firewall is quite decent and it uses the Kaspersky signatures which are quite popular, but apart from that it didn't improve a lot in the last months/years. No point of trying until the new Next-Gen version comes out.
