How do you rate Zone alrm as an all round anti virus app'

Use a little logic. If two or three individual antispyware, one antivirus and one firewall have a hard enough time keeping spyware, trojans, malware, keyloggers, etc. etc. out of your system, how do you think a "suite" is going to perform. (one software is impossible to be everything to every problem).
You are far better off with one firewall, Zone Alarm free for home use. http://www.zonealarm.com Look under home for the free home download.
Antispyware Free: Superantispyware, is excellent at finding what all other miss or are unable to delete. Download the free version. http://www.superantispyware.com
A2Squard Free out of Austria, will protect you from rogue dialers, worms, spyware, keyloggers, malware. trace spyware and tracking cookies. http://www.emsisoft.com
AVG antispyware free, http://www.grisoft.com You can download the purchased version and will become free after thirty days if you don't purchase. They will only remove the background scanner that is worthless, and the auto. updates.
Free antivirus, you can only use one. http://www.avast.com
Free for home personal use. You get an excellent background scanner, plus auto. updates on the hour.
Or you can purchase what I use for a one time fee of $29.99 and is used by the Govt. Of China. Plus Vista approved.

Zone Alarm is very good as a Firewall, but I have not used the suite that includes the antivirus suite. It may be good, but if you do a google (or similar) search then you may get the information that you require.
I am generally suspicious of products that claim to do many tasks. Most individual products struggle to do a single task very effectively, so one that claims to be a Firewall, AVS and Anti-Spyware/Adware has got a lot of work to do if it is going to be very effective at all tasks. All of the programmers and the integration team must work seamlessly together otherwise they may cause each application a problem.
I would recommend an individual application for each task. Good luck in whatever you decide.

I would suggest that you will get better results doing a google search for top 10 antivirus applications from someplace like pc world or cnet...
The lists I've seen don't list it on the top 10 so...
Good Luck

I wouldn't rely on just one software as the definitions you get will not cover all viruses so get a portable virus scanner from google and use that aswell.

Never heard of this one,but my thoughts are get a decent one,it may cost a bit but not as much as all your personal data.
