bit defender is an anti virus ZoneAlarm is a firewall. Although that zonealarm you showed has built in anti virus and spyware, its still wont compare too a proper anti virus program such as bit defender.

I use zonealarm basic for my firewall and then choose any antivirus program you wish such as:

all free:
AVG

Avast

I use bitdefender. One of the best I've used. I personally don't like ZoneAlarm because I've had problems with it in the past.

Bitdefender also has a built in firewall which is actually pretty decent. Thing i like about BD is it scans for viruses in the "wild". For those of you that don't know what that means. It scans for viruses that there have not been definitions made for yet..or are unknown.
