Someone mentioned the AV is powered by Karpinsky.

From your link


Unfortunately, I can't say my first impression from ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus + Firewall was entirely positive: I picked the detailed installer option to see what the defaults are, and was surprised to discover that ZoneAlarm wants to install a browser toolbar, replace my default homepage and search engine with ZoneAlarm-branded pages, and not provide me with an easy way to undo those changes (even though such a feature exists--the checkbox is disabled by default). NO THANKS

These options are collected on one step of the setup process, making them easy to spot and disable. Having done so, I continued with the setup with no incident. You miss that step and you have all their above mentioned stuff installed

I believe you meant Kaspersky?

I really doubt it is powered by Kaspersky, they have a very powerful anti-virus of their own.

I'm happy with what I have,and agree NO THANKS.

I do not like it when programs want to add unwanted stuff to my PC.
