I understand from Steve Gibson (who wrote Optout and is one of the
gurus in the "spyware" area) that Zonelabs have part of the true
vector technology in Zone Alarm, but it DOES NOT "phone home". In
fact, Steve actually RECOMMENDS Zone Alarm on his website
www.grc.com. I have Ad-Aware on my system from www.lavasoft.de for
some time; this has taken over the mantle from OptOut at detecting
"spyware" and it specifically looks for keys from true vector
programs. Ad-aware has never found spyware in Zone Alarm. That's
good enough for me.
