We were pleased to see the addition of a pause/continue function for the scanner, though, enabling you to devote all those processor cycles to something else should you so require, and a quarantine management area for infected files you don’t want to, or more likely can’t, clean. Not much is new with the anti-virus component beyond the spyware integration, but there wasn’t much wrong with the excellent CA module before. If spyware is detected, ZoneAlarm provides detailed information and advice regarding treatment that matches any standalone program. There’s nothing too shabby about updates for anti-virus and anti-spyware either both are handled automatically, in the background, with negligible impact on system resources. The detection rate of 91 per cent is just 1 per cent shy of Spyware Doctor, removal rates 4 per cent short on 84 per cent, but blocking beats it (although not Trend Micro PC-cillin) with 70 per cent. In our tests, ZoneAlarm was the only product that gave the standalone spyware benchmarks a run for their money and the only security suite to pass. Ease of use has always been a key ZoneAlarm strength and, while you can tweak and configure every component easily, there’s little point when it comes to anti-spyware, as the default automatic treatment setting works right out of the box.
