QUOTE: ZoneAlarm Extreme Security 2010 boasts impressive features, including full-disk encryption. But it slows performance, installing it is torture, and its anti-malware scores are only so-so. It's still a good product, but I'm not quite as thrilled with it as I was last year.

PROS - Full-disk encryption. Online backup. System tune-up. Advanced scan of downloads. Comprehensive, accurate antispam component. Effective antiphishing protection. Credit monitoring and identity theft recovery. Browser virtualization. Private browsing. Blocks keyloggers and screengrabbers.

CONS - Has serious problems installing on malware-infested systems. Slowed boot time and system performance. Rudimentary parental controls. So-so malware removal.
