It later turned out that the trial version and boxed version are the same. Keep in mind-when you use the uninstall feature in any computer program-IT WILL STILL LEAVE A LOT OF STUFF ON YOUR COMPUTER. Even when I uninstalled the trial version-I didn't run into any problems installing the boxed version as long as I removed the directories and cleaned the registry. The tabs in ZA are set up in such a way that it makes it easy for people to scroll through the options quickly and set up whatever configuration you want. The junk-mail filter works better in the program than NIS. The junk-mail filters work on all computers-each having three POP mail accounts (set up in Outlook Express & Outlook 2003). This program really improved my computer performance and made it easy for me to configure my MSN/Yahoo Messenger, Logitech webcam, Outlook Express and Outlook 2003.
#Zonealarm security suite 3 install
I used ZA for about a week before I decided to purchase 4 licenses and install them on a laptop & three desktops. ZA allows you to go back later and change the configuration if you want. That can be difficult for a novice, but ZA allows you to view program details (i.e., filename, directory location, etc.) so you can decide for yourself. It then started asking me what programs I wanted to give access to the internet. After the reboot, I connected my wireless network and ZA detected it and asked me what kind of network it was. If you don't reboot, you might risk corrupting certain files. It does ask you do reboot so it can finish removing the old files.
#Zonealarm security suite 3 update
Yes-I had to reboot a couple of times, because ZA was trying to update the program's spyware & antivirus definition files. The installation was straight-forward and relatively quick.
I also made sure I was disconnected from my wireless network before the installation.
The above process was longer than the actual installation. I also went to ZA's website and downloaded their 270-page manual and visited their user forum to get an idea of what I kind of problems others were encountering during the installation process. That also applies to previous versions of ZA. If you don't, you might encounter serious problems. That meant cleaning up the registry, directories, etc. Before I installed ZA, I had to make sure that all remnants of my old NIS were removed. ZA take 50+ percent less space and runs twice as fast. The latest NIS 2007 is 330MB (minus parental control).
I had been using Norton Internet Security (NIS) and Trend Micro for quite a few years but grew tired to slow machine performance and huge files taking up hard drive space. Before I bought this product, I went to ZoneAlarm's (ZA) website for the 15-day trial version.
