Agreed
Used Avast free antivirus and free Zone Alarm firewall for years, never had any bother with viruses etc.

I agree! Zonealarm isn't worth it, I use the free avast and it is excellent. I used to use avg, and it is pants compared to avast.

I've used Zonealarm for about 6-7 years, never had a problem. On my PC I use AVG & Zonealarm, no probs with either.
