Question About Zone-Alarm

[truth-seeker]

Hi!
I had downloaded ZA and was reading the licence when I came across this:

"4. THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE: Certain third party software included with the Software is subject to additional terms and conditions imposed by Zone Labs' third party licensor(s). Such terms and conditions are contained in the "About" pages of the Software and are deemed incorporated herein by reference. You agree to comply with all applicable terms and conditions."

Any info about the "THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE" ? such as spyware, adware, attackware?
Thanks!
PS: READ THE LICENCE, IT COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORMAL SCREEN AND BLUE SCREEN!!!!!!

Zone Alarm is a great, easy to use firewall, but it is not anti-adware.

You should run an anti-spyware program frequently. It it s good idea to run it before installing a new program and after to determine if your new program carried spyware.

I'm afraid there is a trade off for everything we get for free. I feel sorry for the non-techo folks that just push the "on" button and put up with it!

there isn't any spyware or adware on ZA...

I've been using it for 3 years...

if your worrying about adware/spyware then get ad-aware 6.
heres the link
this program kills any/all spyware,adware, malware and dialers.
i use it along with zonealarm. never had ANY problems.

Third Party Software can and often does mean things like the 'install/uninstall' utility, updating connection utilities, and other such minor/useful stuff. It does not always mean spy/adware.

I've also been using ZA Pro for over two years.
I also use both Ad-aware 6 Pro, and Sybot Search & Destroy.
I've never as of yet found any spy/adware in ZA.

Hi!
So your saying that there is no ad-ware or spyware with zonealarm?
Whats the trade off?
Thanks!

Hi
Read chuckiechan's post
"I'm afraid there is a trade off for everything we get for free. I feel sorry for the non-techo folks that just push the "on" button and put up with it!"
Thats why I was double checking!
Thanks!
