I've used this software for years. I've yet to find a suite that will do everything this does. I know people have favorites but with ZA's ability to stop/monitor outgoing programs is what sets it appart from all the other fluff. You learn it's settings as you go when you set it up. Out of the box, it's a good program. I have it on my kids PC's too and I can keep them "out of trouble" by working the parental control features. There are sites they want to visit that get blocked so you can "adjust" accordingly by allowing the site. It's spyware/virus software gets top honors from testing facilities. I know there are lots of other packages out there but why have to download updates or un 4 or 5 programs to accomplish what ZA can do. It's a winner in my book for anyone with a home system and kids.
