Krome Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 The new version of ZoneAlarm update has AntiSpyware. What about Ad-aware Pro and Windows AntiSpyware? Will ZA render other AntiSpyware useless? http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/comp...ssskulist_trial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 since you have to pay for it i doubt it will be as popular as the other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjgore Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 The new version of ZoneAlarm update has AntiSpyware Does it??? It has ad & popup blocking, anti-phishing protection and a spam blocker (and you can disable most spyware with the privacy options), but it doesn't have antispyware similar to Adaware or MS Antispyware which use regularly updated definitions. At least it didn't the last time I looked, and the link provided doesn't mention it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rablet Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) If the information above is true, has anyone tested it? Is it good? EDIT: I guess this is the antispyware, right? http://www.zonelabs.com/store/application?...log_view_id=201 Edited February 21, 2005 by Rabbai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 The antivirus/antispyware components are provided by CA and I doubt it got that much better at getting spyware unless CA updated their def. In any case, ZoneAlarm puts an emphasis on preventing spyware by filtering mobile code from your browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted February 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted February 22, 2005 You shouldn't need a built in spy scanner since tweaking the privacy settings can prevent most of the spyware from being installed first of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rablet Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Duh... let me say it again... ZoneAlarm release a new version with AntiSpyware... my question was: Anyone think it's going to beat other antispyware apps? 585571161[/snapback] But... It's actually just a bundle with ZApro and some antispyware, right? Tell me if I'm totally wrong here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krome Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 It seems like it's a bundle with it's own control panel or applet... "New ZoneAlarm with AntiSpyware" features... isn't that what I said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoSigma Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 You said, The new version of ZoneAlarm update has AntiSpyware. What about Ad-aware Pro and Windows AntiSpyware? Will ZA render other AntiSpyware useless? 585509040[/snapback] What are you talking about? :unsure: I'm confused like everyone else...first reaction, cool, better update from v5.5.062.011 which was released a long time ago. Clicked on your link which has links to v5.5.062.011 so it's NOT a new version... and I don't see any press release or anything announcing the integration of any anti-spyware detection/removal so what about Ad-aware Pro and Windows AntiSpyware? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krome Posted March 6, 2005 Author Share Posted March 6, 2005 Yes that's the version that ZoneAlarm start adding that AntiSpyware thing onto it but I think they might have not announce it yet till v5.5.080.000 is released to the public... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowestborg Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Zone Alarm has not added any antispyware feature per se to its own app. The antispyware given in the bundle is actually from Anonymizer Inc. (www.anonymizer.com). A company popular for its anonymous sufing software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
