Zone Alarm is far behind in making their toolbar compatible with Firefox. Only your Zone Alarm toolbar will be disabled. It is the responsibility of any third-party software developer producing Add-ons for Firefox to see that their Add-on is compatible with Firefox and works properly. Your firewall and malware protection from Zone Alarm will function without the toolbar. The current Zone Alarm version is 10.1.079.000 and its toolbar is compatible only through Firefox 8. NOTE: the separate product Forcefield is no longer being developed, updated or marketed by Checkpoint.

Firefox also scans downloads when completed with your existing Anti-virus software:
