Pros: Protects your PC, free to download
Cons: None
After a friend told me about Zone Alarm Firewall, I thought I would download it for myself.
Zone Alarm Firewall is software that protects your PC against anyone hacking in to it. It is like a virus scan in a way. You can use both a virus scan...

Pros: Basic firewall is excellent.
Cons: ZoneAlarmPro 3.0 update is so buggy it creates more problems than it solves.
I used the free version of Zone Alarm 2.6 for a long time and was very happy with it. Then I decided to buy it (Zone Alarm Pro) and then upgraded to their new version 3.0. BIG MISTAKE!
Their support is almost non-existent and extremely...

Pros: ZAP 2.6.xxx is the way to go
Cons: Stay away from v3.0.xxx
I purchased ZAP 2.6 as a bundle after using the free version. I just wanted more protection. This firewall works like a champ. Oh, the problems it will cause hackers! Configuration and permissions can be confusing to the novice, but overall it is a...

Pros: Stops inbound AND unwanted outbound traffic, good ad blocking.
Cons: TERRIBLE SUPPORT. Not for a newbie or the faint of heart.
This review is of Zone Alarm Pro version 3.1.395 (original post from 10/02).
I recently switched from Black Ice to Zone Alarm because of the ability to monitor/block outbound traffic and the ad/pop-up blocking it offers. It does take some...

Pros: Thwarts intruders, protects your valuable stuff and best of all, it's FREE!
Cons: A bit hard to figure out the operation at first
This is one powerful little gadget! I heard about Zone Alarm here on epinions and I have to say, now that it's installed, I feel much better about Peeping Toms lurking out there. As some of you probably know, I will try just about anything if it's...

Pros: Is an effective fire wall.
Cons: Alerts tend to nag.
*WHAT IS A FIRE WALL?*
An example of a fire wall would be in houses, it's there to prevent a fire from spreading in to the neighboring house. In a computer the fire wall accomplishes the same thing, it blocks hackers...viruses Ext. from entering...

Pros: V 3.1 Interface is a lot cleaner
Installs and auto-detects networks and VPN's nicely
Cons: I had to uninstall mine...too many freezes and crashes.
I used 2.6 for ages with no problems...until despite the warnings of others here I (imagining some kind of papal dispensation that made me immune to these problems) I went ahead and paid for Ver 3.1 Pro.
Sighs..what a...

Pros: Free for home use
Cons: Has Some bugs
Zone alarm is a rather good firewall, but it doesn't come to you without some glitches. First off, it's not always 100% reliable, as most firewalls aren't. It is a free program for home use, but does it really work all the time? According to my...

Pros: easy to use; protects against some hacks; free for home, or non-profit organisations
Cons: very easy to get past (hacker-friendly)
This product is good, but doesn't get the job done. Sure it helps to control some forms of hacking that could damage your computer, but does it stop all hackers? The answer is NO!
The truth is, this firewall isn't that good. If it was that...

Pros: Ease of setup and use
Cons: Lack of detailed instructions / explanations of different features/graphics
For anyone using the internet, especially "always on" services (i.e. @Home(TM), ADSL, etc) this program is a must. It's free for personal home use and very easy to download, setup and use. Whenever a program attempts to access the internet, a pop-up...

Pros: Everything!! Stealth Protection against hackers!
Cons: Nothing that I can think of.
If you have not downloaded ZoneAlarm yet, but plan to soon, do yourself a favor, and go to www.grc.com. That is the website of the Gibson Research Corporation. Scroll down and click on Shields Up! This test will let you know how good your shields are...

Pros: Free, effective and user friendly
Cons: None
Not too long ago, I was not familiar with firewall software and I was not too concerned about it. My computer had been hacked many years ago and every now and then, but I never persued a solution to these pestering hackers with nothing better to do....

Pros: Effective, supposedly.
Cons: Crashes system; Connection won't work with it disabled; Pain to uninstall.
I was bored and in a downloading mood, so I figured I'd try installing a firewall. This particular one seemed to have somewhat decent ratings, so I spent a couple minutes and put it on my system. After all, if I don't like it, I can just uninstall it,...
