Sick of ZoneAlarm
 
Im tired of this program. It has the worst uninstall ever!

I have ZA with Virus scan on this PC. It ran out and I needed to renew.

Well at ZA website they had an offer to get the SUITE for free if I signed up with a partner.

I did that and got a free proram plus the key

So I uninstall the old one and install the new...

WHen I reboot it askes me if I want to ungrade or renew my OLD subscription

Then when I look at the program it has the registration key installed from my OLD version and the suite has not reverted to my OLD program install.

So I do some researh and find that ZA is notoreous when it comes to leaving behind stuff after uninstall.

After doing my own search and destroy and finding everything I can. I do another install and the same results...

This is absurd! Im going with Commodo and some other free av

it's not worth the pain, honestly. I already went through the tech stuff on how to remove all the stuff left behind. Took a while. It's just not worth it
