ZA question for guys with cable, multiple PCs w broadband router and ZoneAlarm Pro

Post by EvilHorace »

I've got the SMC router firewall and the free version of ZA on my 4 PCs but I'm wondering, is ZA Pro worth the $40 (for one PC) and if purchased, does one copy install on other networked PCs in a home network or must one buy the version for networks for over $100? From what I gather, the $40 version will only work on one PC so then I'd need the network version instead, more than I'd like to spend.

Is ZA Pro worth the money over the free version?
I'm not having any known security problems, just curious.

I wouldn't worry about it if I were you. Just having the hardware router is isolating your network from the Internet. It's pretty hard to hack past that.

If your're running the free version of ZA on all your systems that's even better but you don't really need the pro version.
