ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.5 Released in BETA State

Published by

ZoneLabs over the years has offered a very good ZoneAlarm Firewall product but they have not been without their mishaps. Just last year they experienced serious issues with their "True Vector" Engine Crashing. The year before with ZoneAlarm 5 they had a serious bug that prevented CHKDSK from running at bootup in Windows XP (It appears all forum posts relating to this issue have been conviently deleted).

The latest version of the ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.5 is having massive problems with the AntiSpyware component not updating properly and the Date Modified Attribute not beeing saved in Windows Explorer. Apparently the ZoneLabs developers felt it was ok to release BETA software as an Official Release. Either that or the person in charge of Quality Control should be fired. Enough is Enough

ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.5 Released in BETA State

The ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite is supposed to be the pinnacle of security products. It goes beyond the free and pro versions which are simply a firewall product. The Internet Security Suite adds AntiVirus, AntiSpyware, Identity Theft Protection, Spy Site Blocking, Privacy Protection, Anti-Spam and Anti-Phishing, IM Protection, Email Security, Wireless PC Protection and Parental Control to their award winning Firewall. Too bad it is plagued with serious issues that should have been found in BETA testing.
