Yeah, it uses Kaspersky engine. Now you doubt Kaspersky is the best?

@420
What do you mean Kaspersky built in? How can that be, is there some sort of merger going on or what?

ps, please could someone tell me , is Windows defender just an anti-spyware thing or is it supposed to catch viruses too? I ask because there are all these hints that it also stops "potentially unwanted software".

Sure I can just go check, but Bill is always so vague and I know some of you guys here are real brainiacs! ;-)

As far as I know, ZoneLabs and Kaspersky are staying separate companies so there is no merger. ZoneLabs is only licensing KAV's technology under contract...

Anyway, I was wondering something...
See, I use KAV and I only use it to do manual scans...I don't use the protection feature. Also, I use ZoneAlarm ONLY for things like not allowing access to certain programs (Alcohol 120%, etc.). I don't care for the firewall feature of ZoneAlarm because I have a hardware firewall so ZA doesn't do anything for me in that department.
Now, I'm wondering whether I should uninstall ZoneAlarm and install the whole "Kaspersky Internet Security" package so I can have an all-in-one solution. Does KIS have a feature like ZA where it pops up with a warning when any programs want to access the internet?

Thanks Badrix... timely and great as always!

dudes, does anyone knows where can i see some screenshots?

@ LordNykon.. There is nothing really new to this.

1. A new trayIcon
2. Interface are the same, just some new colors/icons.

..Other than that, its the same.. The way that you brows through the menu's, is also still the same.

Thanks dude. btw, is it cool, that new tray icon? because i love the old one, can you post a screen?

Vista not supported. Dammit to HELL!!

I'll try it out on my XP box.

Try Kaspersky Internet Security instead. It works with Vista! I've been using ZoneAlarm for a long, long time and I made the switch today. I must say that KIS is a lot more advanced than ZA so it may take some time to get used to...but it's better in the long run. So far, I'm loving it!

previously i can't register

how do i want to register?

greetings! sorry of topic :) need help please....Anybody knows what zone alarm pro version or etc., is the most stable one? thanks good day to all.:)

@ LordNykon... The TrayIcon is almost the same. You still get that red/gren, when there is activity. But when no activity, its now a like a grey "Z", insted of that "ZA".. If you know what i mean.

hi,tis nice.

This new Zone Alarm sucks.

When I browse the net with Firefox, the whole net suddenly stops. ZA is most probably preventing Firefox from accessing the net, and browser suddenly stucks. You have to close it with Task Manager.

DO NOT INSTALL IT!!!!!!!

ZoneLabs have posted the list of bugs, THIS IS FOR TEST PURPOSES. what a dumbass XD, WAIT FOR THE FINAL VERSION AND SHUT YOUR ASS UP, YOUR NOT A BETA-TESTER, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TEST SOFTWARE AND REPORT BUGS, fool
