In terms of threat detection and removal efficacy, independent data isn't available yet for the 2010 version. ZoneAlarm's publisher, CheckPoint, sources its virus detection engine from Kaspersky, but adds its own antispyware detection.

ZoneAlarm's trial period is shorter by half than its competitors, but if you're looking for brand-name protection, ZoneAlarm isn't a bad place to start. The toolbar comes with a private browsing option, but it's not entirely clear how it's different from the ones that already come with the host browser.

Unfortunately, the browser protections only work in those two browsers. There's also an outbound e-mail alert in case your account gets hacked, parental controls, and a browser toolbar for Firefox and Internet Explorer. These all appeared to work well enough, but suffered from the same interface design that plague the major features. Other sweeteners used to make Extreme Security more attractive include an identity protection module to encrypt personal information and alert you when it leaves your computer-as well as helping you set up an eBay fraud report, if you're an eBay user.

It also contains multiple features that its slimmer sibling ZoneAlarm Internet Security 2010 lacks, including access to a free add-on for laptop hard-drive encryption, keylogger protection, browser-based safeguards, and more antiphishing options. There's an antivirus scan scheduler and four levels of scans including Quick, Normal, Deep, and Ultra Deep-Deep won't scan archives by default, but Ultra Deep will. The firewall is highly customizable, including toggling incoming and outgoing DHCP, IGMP, and UDP ports, among others. The layout makes it harder than it should to access them, but ZoneAlarm Extreme Security sports a robust selection of features. It's an incongruous collection of features, and they're hard to see because they only appear as text links-they look to be about 10-point.

Other features that are hidden in the bottom left corner include gaming mode, which deactivates pop-ups and queries when gaming or watching videos, checking for updates, and entering in your license key. You can initiate a scan from the main window, but it's secreted at the bottom left corner of the window, not an easy place to find it. The main window also hides one of the key features of a security suite-the scan. It's hardly a simple design, let alone elegant. When you click on the Firewall link, for example, the main window will show the basic firewall controls, and then beneath the left-nav text link will appear links to more firewall-controlling options. To get direct access to options and settings, you have to use the text links on left nav. However, clicking on one only opens up a pop-up window with detection counters and links to adjust settings. These will appear green if they are up-to-date, and red if there are problems that need to be addressed. The center of the main window contains icons and links to Firewall Security, Anti-virus/Anti-spyware, and Browser Security. Behavioral detection looks beyond virus definitions, and focuses on whether a program is behaving badly or unusually.Įven from a quick glance, Extreme Security's interface struggles to present all that the program offers in an orderly and comprehensible design. You can opt out of installing a desktop icon, and also opt out of contributing to ZoneAlarm's behavioral analysis engine, and like most of the high-end security suites that offers such detection, opting out of contributing the anonymous data does not stop the engine from protecting you. ZoneAlarm's firewall keeps programs honest by making sure that they only do what you want them to during installation. ZoneAlarm lets you toggle the antivirus component of its program, recognizing that some people may only want the firewall, browser, and system tools. ZoneAlarm is one of the most polite programs we've installed in a while, not only giving users choices, but explaining what happens if they opt for the automated steps. In our tests, detailed below, we found that Extreme Security generally held its own against the current competition, but occasionally did worse. The company says that users should expect scans to be 80 to 90 percent faster than in previous versions. ZoneAlarm is claiming faster performance in its antivirus and antispyware scans because it has unified them this year, something that most of its competitors did awhile back.
