I've used Zone Alarm Pro and Zone Alarm Internet Security Suit and Win One Care.

In comparison to these two its cr@p Imnot talking about features. It may be good in that department.I found it slowing down my computer for no reason at all ( mindwell Zone alarm doesnt slow down my pc ). Installing is a pain. If you have to uninstall it then you have to redownload the complete thing again.


Overall I would recommend you to either of what Ive used. There is a free version of Zone Alarm available too. Plus W1C integrates with windows one thing I dont like .

I reviewed OneCare Live some time back. Personally I wont recommend it. You can read the review and comments and then decide if you wanna pay for this worthless crap.

Windows 1-Care, is a not worth it!! It's a resource hogger, also it's not all good.
You can use ZoneAlarm firewall free with a good antivirus like Norton or NOD32 or Kaspersky
