I have just uninstalled the highly rated Zone Alarm free personal fire wall program, which I have used for many years.
Zone Alarm had, till recently, frequent updates, which included offers to upgrade to a more complete security suite. I was already happy with my anti-virus, so I declined Zone Labs' offers and only ever reinstalled the firewall.
However, the new upgrade to the ZA firewall included an obligatory trial version of the ZA antivirus, which clashed with my existing AV and refused to install unless I removed it.
So, sadly, I removed ZA firewall and installed the equally well-credentialed Comodo firewall.
It's a consumer society and the tech crowd is fussy.

I have gone the same route after happily using Zone Alarm for many years. I don't want my system to be burdened with the entire bloat of the Security Suite after the trial period ends. I think Check Point has shot themselves in the foot and will ruin the reputation Zone Alarm had built up.
