I have just recently started evaluating ZoneAlarm Security Suite, after
uninstalling Norton System Works 2005.
That being said, I have NEVER had any problems with Norton SystemWorks or
Norton AntiVirus. I have never had it "fall apart". I never had any problem
uninstalling it prior to installing a newer version. In the future, after
this evaluation of ZA Security Suite, I may well go back to it. I find that
it does some things that the ZA Suite does not address, one of them being
"script blocking"!
