"Horrible Upgrade from ver 7.x"
Pros: I really like the ZA security suite and have recommended ZA to countless friends and family - including my mother. Never a problem and provides excellent coverage on all fronts and provides excellent "content filtering" - like hack, porn, etc.
Cons: After upgrading to ZA Security Suite 8 my wife's computer became so slow that she thought it was broken. After a short review - ZA 8 was causing this. Sadly after uninstalling ZA 8 and returning to ZA 7 everything went back to normal. Sad.
Summary: If you have version 7.x of Zone Alarm keep it. Don't upgrade just yet. The user interface looks better in version 8 and the protection is just as good, if not better. To have your system slowed to a crawl by version 8 is a disaster. I will continue to recommend ZA 7.x as always, but not ZA 8 - Security Suite - not yet. Hopefully the engineers at Zone Labs will figure out a solution to this problem and post it as an upgrade, update, patch or whatever it takes to get ZA 8 to work as effectively and efficiently as ZA 7.x. Cheers
