zone alarm fails again

today ZoneAlarm renew failed for 18 tries , ZA refuses to have phone support the ultimate in tech service abdication. Za also failed to run once downloaded and can not find a manger or tech person to bother to address. the issue . They actually would like to charge us to answer tech questions even though they know they are having server failures.This once responsive comapany has joined the Big Oil Enron ranks in refusing to address customer needs.

Zone Alarm is alot easier to use than McAfee

I set up my sister's new computer and it had a 60-day free trial of McAfee Security Suite. She uses a dial-up connection so before I took it to her house I connected it to my DSL connection to get the latest updates. McAfee keeps wanting to validate the subscription and even after updating on my DSL, when I set up the computer at her house, McAfee had a download that took over two hours. She recently called me in tears because McAfee had shutdown her virus scan software because it could not validate the subscription. So, I've countered with buying Zone Alarm AntiVirus 2006 and I don't expect to hear from her over fear that her new computer is not protected. Zone Alarm makes it easy.

antiVirus with hidden attributes

It does do what is promised..but, I come from many years of using Norton. Getting use to the constant pop-up questions took some time; as Norton never ask me anything! Zone does have a smaller footprint than Norton, thus saving many MB of space. A lot easer to use and to dump if you MUST!...Norton took me weeks to figure out HOW to get it OFF my computer! Would I buy it again, YES..I am still looking for a firewall, if zones sales team has one, I have never been approched to buy it..if it is already "in there" I do not know! I DO KNOW, My computer has NO BUGS! and THAT's what counts at the end of the day^M
