Doing this on files with limited access gains the local attacker higher privileges to the file. Check Point would like to thank Jakub Palaczynski for reporting the issues Check Point would like to thank Chris Anastasio for discovering the issue and bringing it to the attention of Check Point.

ZoneAlarm is very limited when it comes to its platform accessibility. It is available on Windows 10, 8 and 7, on mobile through iOS and Android apps, and through a Chrome extension. It is not. ZoneAlarm Antivirus is unique in the feature sense. For many modern antivirus programs, there are a set of features that are expected, including a virtual private network to keep your network traffic hidden or a file shredder. Every tier of ZoneAlarm offers more features than the next.
While the free tier will get you good scanning capabilities and a firewall, the best features are locked behind the paid tiers. Unfortunately, the price is a bit high when you consider the features being offered. The ZoneAlarm free tier includes only the basics: their scanning software, firewall and game mode check out the best free antivirus software as a comparison.
With the features that ZoneAlarm offers, the prices are fairly steep. For example, Kaspersky offers almost all of these features plus more in their subscription service for half the annual price of ZoneAlarm Pro see our Kaspersky Antivirus review. The final tier of protection is ZoneAlarm Extreme Security , which costs nearly twice as much as ZoneAlarm Pro and includes specific protection from keyloggers and ransomware , as well as threat emulation. Threat emulation is special in that it will test your files in a virtual machine, updating the threat detection in the cloud as well as ensuring your files are safe.
Getting set up on ZoneAlarm is just a bit of work, and once you get there, the UI is completely outdated. The website is not designed for simple download-and-go functionality, unlike Avast see our Avast Pro Review , especially for the free tier. On the plus side, they do offer the Google Chrome extension during installation, as well, making it a quick one-click install for both.
It definitely looks like it was designed back in the s and then never updated. That being said, it is very easy to navigate. Every part of the program is within one or two clicks from the home page.
Web browsing and mobile security are not actually included in this program, although it looks like they are. The scan options include a quick scan of the data most likely to be compromised and a full scan of your entire system. We tried both of them out.
A quick scan took about 90 seconds, while a full scan took just over three hours. Both of them had a minimal impact on the CPU while scanning, with a jump of about five percent, which is great compared to competitors such as F-Secure read our F-Secure Antivirus review. ZoneAlarm does not offer a custom scan option.
This is a major oversight, as many antivirus programs offer you the ability to scan just the drive that you think may be compromised. Read our Avira review for an example. This does not mean that they have been blocked or that ZoneAlarm determined they are dangerous. This simply means that it analyzed the program and judged whether that program should be allowed through the firewall or not, otherwise known as application control.
If you choose not to use this feature, it will ask you about every single program the first time they attempt to access the internet, including obvious ones such as operating system functionality and popular programs like Skype and Spotify.
Due to the scarcity of lab results for this program, we had to rely more heavily on our hands-on testing, which indicated good protection from almost everything but fell short on phishing. Unfortunately, only AV-Test has any results for ZoneAlarm, so we had to rely on our own tests more than usual. This is especially impressive when it comes to zero-day vulnerabilities, a bar which is not met by many. Its performance is fairly solid, as well, with one exception — installing applications takes significantly longer with ZoneAlarm active than the industry average.
It had no issues identifying legitimate software and did not alert on a single false positive. It successfully blocked the manually downloaded malware, the drive-by downloads and the PUAs potentially unwanted applications.
It also successfully blocked the cloud-based threat, but it did not detect the phishing page. While there was no notification indicating that the files had been blocked, ZoneAlarm did succeed in blocking downloads from the malicious websites.
In the single case when the file downloaded, ZoneAlarm blocked it before the download was complete. There are no warranties with regard to this information.
