Zone Alarm 5 Beta Review

Posted by timothy on from the permeable-membrane dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ZoneAlarm is getting ready to announce version 5 of its security software firewall, ZoneAlarm. Though there are a few changes that are presently available on the new beta, this review mentions that there are still many security issues to resolve. Grc.com scan reveals that ZoneAlarm Beta 5 failed to close port 25 and fails to give useful information to the user about possible security services being shut off."
