General Comments

ZoneAlarm Security Suites are using the scan-engine antivirus which is developed together with ComputerAssociates. It also uses the same definition database with eTrust EZ AntiVirus. Yup, it means you can download virus definition updates manually from eTrust website and then use it for ZoneAlarm (extract to: C:WINDOWSsystem32ZoneLabs). Cause as I know ZoneAlarm doesn't put the updates to download manually in their website. :)

Overall ZoneAlarm Security Suites has same capabilities with eTrust, but the lack features of eTrust are covered and improved by ZoneLabs product features (firewall, id-privacy protection, email security, and content-communication protection). Making it have good protection.
