This "anti-virus" software simply passes all well known software such as Microsoft and labels the software of small companies as having a virus which they decline to describe. If you pay for this software, you are wasting your money!

After uninstalling ZoneAlarm, my internet was gone. So I have reached their support through another device and just said that: "Unfortunately, you got disconnected from chat earlier and I didn't know what happened. For free versions, you can join our online community and post your issue from there. Unfortunately, we do not have technical support for the free versions." The uninstaller should have been configured to disable and remove all of ZoneAlarm's components but the program sucks.

Indeed a shame (it pinched a few hundred gb, that's how I noticed). This used to be a reliable prog in the past. Avoid! Try GlassWire's Firewall - not free, but beautiful.

since i istalled zone alarm i cant remove folders and "services" names SandBlast ...... i need only a firewall and antivir , now i use the windows solution zonealarm you was so greate on the internets born

Check all your drives. Zonealarm creates hidden folders called SandBlastBackup and then picks personal files based on your internet surfing and document usage and stores them. (for what?) You cannot delete them until you uninstall Zonealarm. This is beyond shady and lame. It is a complete failure to respect consumer privacy and should be illegal. CheckPoint software is MALWARE! Do not be fooled by their clever language. They are spying on you and using your files and identity WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE. I found 3 sensitive business documents in one of these folders. There is NOTHING they can say to make that acceptable. Absolutely DISTURBING.

I installed it on my system and my computer barely boot. Then after 3 min of booting it was working like crazy...the fan speed was very fast, computer was hot, it was freezing and showing me Blue Screen that says DRIVER_I R Q L_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. It took me two days to figure out how to clean my system from the leftovers after the uninstall. I talked to Zone Alarm customer support for the Z A A R.e x e and Patrick told me how to remove it but it did not work. Then I contacted somebody else for Check Point endpoint process and did not work too. Meanwhile the antivirus that i installed after Zone Alarm could not stop crashing and could not update as it is suppose to (Bit Defender). Today I was so mad that I just stopped all their processes.

On my brother's advice I got Zone Alarm. I hated this program from day 1 because setting it up wasn't always easy. Since I had already spent money for a 1 year subscription I continued to use it. When my computer started acting funny I ran AVG antivirus (free version I already had) and it found a couple of trojans. Zone Alarm always said my computer was clean. About a month before the subscription ran out I uninstalled the program and deleted it. My subscription was not set to auto renew however Zone Alarm did renew and charge my paypal account. It was a nightmare dealing with customer service at Zone Alarm. After several calls between Paypal and Zone Alarm I did finally get my money back. I had to keep telling each rep that I had removed their program from my system so why would I want to pay for another year. The last rep I spoke with finally dug into my account and saw that I did have it set up for manual renewal but in an area that the customer has no access to it was set to auto. This was very upsetting to me. The program was bad enough by itself but then to find out that my account (and who knows how many others) gets set to auto renew even when you set it for manual. I can't in all honesty recommend this program to anyone.
