Zone Alarm

Pros: Simple, free, easy
Cons: Intrusive, won't work with AOL UK, annoying

It's a sad world when us home users need a firewall. We don't have that much interesting data but still we're at risk from Trojans, Hackers and DOS Attacks. Sitting behind a firewall seems to be the only way to feel safe nowadays....

Pros: Free in personal use, low fees for business
Cons: none found

If you don't have a firewall, you need one. If you don't want to spend much money, get ZoneAlarm. In personal use mode, it's totally Free! For a small business or commercial use, the fees at less than $40 US are extremely reasonable.

Pros: Descent Security w/ free version, not hard to understand
Cons: too quirky to use

When I first got Zone Alarm, I didn't think it was too bad. I had just got got high speed net access and it served it's purpose. Honestly, it works for the bottom line user. After I move I get my high speed later, and start seeing the faults. One...

Pros: Free
Cons: No real 'security', not rules based, not customizable.

What's a firewall, anyways?

Firewalls are commonly used to protect systems behind them from unauthorized access through the 'dirty' interface which faces the Internet. ZoneAlarm elected to go a slightly different way, not only blocking...

Pros: Unbeatable personal security solution for an unbeatable price
Cons: none

I've been using Zone Alarm for over a year now and I must say, this is simply one piece of software i can't go without. Since i'm a cable modem user, i'm pretty much a sitting duck to thousands of hackers and hacker wannabes out there on the Internet....

Pros: Free. One of few products passing ShieldsUp port exposure and blocking outgoing spyware.
Cons: Repeatedly froze my WinMe system and had to remove it.

I've tested multiple firewalls for compatability and meeting Gibson's ShieldsUp port and spyware test. While Zone Alarm is the top rated product - and well deserving - it repeatedly froze my WinMe system (WinMe is not terribly stable) and so I had to...

Pros: Easy to use, Effective, Nice looking
Cons: A little confusing setup

Bottom line (here on the top line) is that this software is free! And you can't even buy software as good as it is for under $100.

It is very effective, attractive, and fairly simple to use. With several different settings for different...

Pros: It's free I tell ya it's FREE!
Cons: let me get back to you on that

So far so good. I have no problems with The zone labs firewall. Zone labs is really easy to understand and has a lot of neat options to use at you fingertips. The best thing about zone labs is that it's all FREE. I like saying FREE and I also like what...

Pros: See above
Cons: see above

I ran McAfee security suite on my machine for a year and bought it for around £40 or roughly $60 USD. Seemed to work ok , however i once lost my internet connection due to a worm, this was fix with a winsock patch. This was a major breach of the ...

Pros: Free, Keeps out Hackers, FREE!
Cons: nothing

Ahh.. Zone Alarm. The best anti-hacking tool ever made. Not only is it the best, it's totally FREE! What Zone Alarm is, is a program that does not let anyone into your hard drive, by way of internet. It blocks all of your ports (such as POP3) so nothing...

Pros: Didn't cost anything, easy to uninstall
Cons: Messy, hard to set up, little or no help online

Well, I had heard a lot of positive reviews about ZoneAlarm, so I decided to try it on my PC at work (Win2K Pro). It was so horrible, I uninstalled it after about 15 minutes (would have uninstalled it sooner, but I kept getting alarms).

After...

Pros: Great program for the price!
Cons: You still get pop-up ads.

I recently purchased Zone Labs Zone Alarm Pro 3.0 anti-virus protection software for my new Gateway 700XL computer. My Gateway computer came pre-installed with a 30-day trial of McAfee anti-virus protection software. As soon as the McAfee anti-virus...

Pros: ZoneAlarm Pro is the best software firewall available.
Cons: The free version has some limitations.

If you have a cable or DSL internet connection, you need a firewall.
ZoneAlarm Pro is the same as ZoneAlarm, but with more features. The free ZoneAlarm should be sufficient for most users. ZoneAlarm is widely recognized as being the best software...

Pros: FREE
Cons: Annoying, doesn't really help much

Well, what can I say. I needed firewall protection, but didn't want to go out spending the money, and better yet, didn't want to go out at all. So, i searched online and came up with this one. I must admit, it does have some pretty good freatures,...
