New and improved ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite version 7.0

• All new antivirus engine from Kaspersky includes a new virus database and extended spyware database as well as the industry's only hourly update system.
• An optional "silent start" mode called auto-learn has been added that detunes the OSFirewall and parts of the network firewall for the first n days (n is variable, default 7) while ZoneAlarm learns the user's unique PC environment. After n days, security reverts to maximum.

• Product set-up process has been redesigned and shortened.
• A pre-scan has been added to the start wizard that scans the user's PC for program files, compares programs with ZoneAlarm's SmartDefense Advisor database, and applies policy to said programs, both legitimate and malicious.
• Settings in the Program control panel, Programs tab (Maximum, Auto-learn, Low, Off) have been revamped.
• The UI has been refreshed, with new ZoneAlarm/Check Point branding.
• Anti-spyware has been improved for better discovery and cleaning.
• The spyware update system has been improved for reliability and responsiveness.
