Publisher's description of ZoneAlarm 5.5.094

From ZoneAlarm:

ZoneAlarm is designed to protect your DSL- or cable-connected PC from hackers. This program includes four interlocking security services: a firewall, an application control, an Internet lock, and Zones. The firewall controls the door to your computer and allows only traffic you understand and initiate. The application control allows you to decide which applications can and cannot use the Internet. The Internet lock blocks Internet traffic while your computer is unattended or while you're not using the Internet, and it can be activated automatically with your computer's screensaver or after a set period of inactivity. Zones monitor all activity on your computer and alert you when a new application attempts to access the Internet.

Editor's review of ZoneAlarm 5.5.094

• "A totally free, very effective firewall"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: ZoneAlarm 5.5.094

An effective and easy-to-use firewall program, ZoneAlarm does a great job of keeping your PC safe from a variety of threats. ZoneAlarm makes configuring a firewall, which sounds like a daunting task to the majority of computer users, incredibly easy with a wizard. Maintaining and updating settings also is a snap when you're using the stylish interface and its simple slider controls. The program's Zones feature also allows you to assign different security levels for a local network and for the Internet. We found ZoneAlarm very good at recognizing and automatically including settings for our local network. In all our tests, the firewall guarded against all external and internal threats it encountered. Therefore, we think ZoneAlarm is an excellent firewall choice for just about any average user.

  Version: ZoneAlarm 5.5.094

  "X-tremely powerful product with a few minor flaws."

  by LoW_Reviewer on July 11, 2005

  Pros: Well its a cool little program. Tested well when trying to access my own computer using a hacking utility. still needs some improvement. Is much better than any other freebies I've seen though.

  Cons: shows tons of false positives when identifying intruders. But catches alot of the bad ones. Does make some games unplayable until setup properly. Games with revolving ip's are hard to play and get errors. There are many good programs with small fees out there we would recommend over this program.

  "Forever the best!!"

  by computer_genius on May 3, 2005

  Pros: Very easy-to-use interface, even for beginners. Configuration is very easy, and if you don't have ports to configure; you won't have to configure anything except program permissions. In the Pro version, the one I have; you really have to configure some stuff not unless you want cookies blocked. Pro is very cheap for a high-rated firewall. Get ZoneAlarm/Pro now!!

  Cons: NONE!!

  "The most used firewall in the world, and most trusted"

  by arsenijcz on June 19, 2005

  Pros: I have read an article showing the statistics that zone alarm is considered to be the best firewall around. I am using zone alarm security suite and I can tell you that it is worth the money. But if you don?t want to spend the money you must have this. If you don?t have any firewall you are probably hacked every minute. It is so easy to hack someone even a child can do it if showed how. So I advise you to download it right away because you are loosing a lot.

  A firewall is radical for your computer and if you are looking for a new one you have found it.

  AND IT IS FREE

  Since may 2005 the firewall has blocked 9000 intruders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Is that something or not!!!!!

  "Best a free firewall can get!"

  by afrobat on May 31, 2005

  Pros: -Extremely customizable

  -Easy to Use and setup

  -Many functions

  -Works very well and blocks many harmful things from entering your computer

  -Free

  Cons: -costs money if you want more options. However, the free version is good enough for the normal computer user.

  -It sometimes, though very rarely, can block you from accessing the Internet. If this happens, reinstalling the program should undo that.

  "The Kodak of software firewalls (very easy)"

  by pentium4forever on June 30, 2005

  Pros: ZoneAlarm continues to remain stable and do it's job. It blocks tons of stuff, I've had it installed since Blaster worm and never looked back. If you have a hardware firewall which operates on a router with NAT, that's a good start, I'd say install a software firewall to add a layer of protection. You can never be too safe these days on the net now can you?

  Cons: On Antivirus monitoring tab, it doesn't detect the AVG Antivirus Free Edition software. However, that's not enough reason to not give it 5 stars. It's just to monitor it anyway.
