Cool Features:
ZoneAlarm checks any suspicious files against a cloud database to ensure that even the latest threats are not missed. The ZoneAlarm cloud contains the newest antivirus signatures and definitions. A two-way firewall proactively monitors inbound and outbound traffic for hackers. Automatic Wireless Network Security addresses your wireless network settings and automatically applies the most secure firewall protection settings available. ZoneAlarm takes steps to prevent phishing by providing an official Chrome Extension to monitor phishing. The Extreme Security product has a 100% virus free guarantee. |
Cool Features:
Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is a free antivirus download which works on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. Windows 8 has a feature called Windows Defender which is the same as Microsoft Security Essentials but you do not need to download it as it is built in. Microsoft Security Essentials is a plain solution which is better than nothing but in general is significantly outperformed by any of the commercial antivirus solutions reviewed on this website. MSE will detect some viruses but not near the success rate as other commercial solutions. We suggest Avira, Avast, AVG or ZoneAlarm free editions if you absolutely need free antivirus. |
