Zone Alarm opinions please (OT?)
I've used Zone Alarm for many years. But 99.99% of its warnings have been false alarms. AFAIK, it hasn't blocked the spyware applets that Spybot finds just about every time I run it, so what's ZA's actual value? The little icon that tells me there's net traffic doesn't seem to be worth the money. I've turned off its A/V and e-mail scan, as that conflicts with AVG.
So, really, I wonder whether it's worth keeping. I'm using a router, its hardware firewall should be enough to block external attacks, right?
Opinions and advice gratefully received.
