ok well someone posted a long time ago that we can order a free windows security update cd from microsoft. i ordered it and have finally received it. It has a few of teh larger updates included on it but also came with a free antivirus pogram and firewall by ezTrust.

well anyway i installed them and the antivirus is nothing special, its actually a peice of crap, but as soon as a started up the firewall i knew it was zone alarm with a new name.

take a look at this pic:

everything about this program runs exactly like zonealarm except that it has a different name...what do u guys think? are they same owners or something? or did eztrust buy the rights from zonealarm or something?

edit: forgot to add in the pic :lol: but its ok now...

umm well its hard to say, ive never used the free version of zonealarm, but this eztrust one is the 'lite' version and it looks a lot like the pro version of zonealarm :unsure:

well i think im gonna install this crap and stick to regular old zonealarm pro and avg antivirus...
