Zone Alarm Basic or Pro

[Maleko]

Well, after using Sygate for years, and finally thinking that cause they were taken over by Norton...its time for an upgrade

So, as most the board say ZA, im giving it a trial, and was wondering if people go for Pro, or stick with free basic?

For machines I fix for family and friends I usually install Zonealarm basic mainly because its free and usually its to get rid of Norton they got with their machines. For myself at home, I have to use Pro because Basic blocks VPN access to my work network due to its limited features.

ZA appears to have gotten more stable recently, possibly because of the buyout, the older V6 version used to crash on me quite often overnight and kill any offpeak downloads I had but the new V7 has only crashed a couple of times since I installed it.

I like the free version more but I wouldnt use ZA in the first place.
