Zone Alarm

Pros: Keeps people out of your computer.
Cons: You might have play around with it a bit when it comes to voice chat, but I'm sure if you configure it for medium security you won't have a problem.

I was running Black ice, and that program was ok, but after trying zone alarm, I'm pretty impressed with how it works, I have been on different voice chat servers and it had stopped a few dead in their tracks, if you wish to configure pal talk, it will...

Pros: Very strong protection for your PC
Cons: None so far

I was surprised to find a free personal firewall that is as strong, if not stronger than commercial (paid) software out on the market. Zone Alarm was simple to configure and allows the best flexibility for the needed protection you're looking for. You...

Pros: Fairly easy to install & use. Works GREAT!!
Cons: No instructions, it will slow access somewhat but not much.

Pros: This thing is amazing! Blocks out perpetrators
Cons: Should include the PRO version features! :)

First off, let me say that people who give this software a negative review are people who usually have technical problems (crashes, stalls, blue screen, etc.). On the bright side, if you get this thing working fine with no technical problem, it's worth...

Pros: Keeps your computer safe from Hackers - period!
Cons: Can be a little annoying until you tweak the settings.

It really does! It does not allow any programs in or out through your internet connection unless YOU let it! You can individually turn programs on or off, allow them access this one time or every time. It does not allow "pings" to be sent to your...

Pros: Easy to use, alerts are much more informative in newer versions
Cons: NONE WHATSOEVER! New Version has SQUASHED bug with adding new applications to list!

With P2P filesharing on the rise, this piece of software is a MUST! Especially so, if you're on a high speed connection.

Depending on your settings, this software will basically lock down your computer so that you know EVERY piece of software...

Pros: Blocks and lists hack attempts and pings
Cons: ping lists can become annoying

ZoneAlarm is the best firewall ever made. One day, I was surfing the internet. Next thing I know, my printer is printing out sheets of paper with globs of ink on them, and my wall paper has changed.

I do a search on it, and find out that I...

Pros: It's free, easy to Install & Use and Fun !
Cons: Logs are not detailed
