EZ Armor vs. Zone Alarm... are they the same?

[Parasitic]

Hey all,


Yesterday I couldn't resist myself and therefore went down to Staples to find stuff to buy with the $15 off $75 coupon I got in the mail...I was going to pick up a Motorola V330 but they didn't have any, but then I saw the MX1000 for $40 AR and EZ Armor for FREE AR, so I picked up both with the coupon, giving me (after tax) a net cost of $30 on the MX1000.

Anyways, I am now debating if I should dump Zone Alarm regular in favor of EZ Armor since I paid for it? That and I don't know if I really need another mouse.


I have a Microsoft wireless intellimouse explorer already. Got it for $20 at the last CompUSA sale. Awesome mouse.

I just use the windows xp sp2 firewall behind my router. My roomate had zone alarm and after the 50th time it locked him out of his internet (probably user error) he uninstalled it.

I have been using the free version of zone alarm forever it and it is flawless for me. I highly recommend it

I use zonealarm 4.5

zonealarm 5.5 and up apparently cut your bandwidth in half.

I use ZoneAlarm Pro 5.5 and haven't noticed any difference.
