Version: ZoneAlarm 6.5.722
"1475 intrusions blocked, 8 high rated, get it? A real must."
Pros: This program not only will show you how many intrusions were blocked but rate them and provide you with the utmost control of who, what, when and where your computer is being accessed. I have found the quote on quote annoying pop-ups providing verification for programs very informative and you can also customize what and how many notifications you will see. You'll also find an exact list of programs that are accessing the computer and what zones they are accessing such as intranets or internet zones AND you can specifically configure what programs correspond to specific zones. You can delete a program from the list that is no longer on your computer and the most important quality of this firewall is its effectiveness. If you are paranoid about spyware on your computer that you just cannot detect or remove, it won't be able to acess the internet without your approval once you've installed this firewall. I installed this firewall on my friends computer and his performance sky-rocketed! I have not noticed any degradation in performance and with Netzero 3G the dial-up is not slowed or compromised. Ultimately, this program is a must for the anyone concerned about security. Antivirus/spyware protection is not enough, this solid firewall will add the extra punch against the malicious. Add to your watch list, this one is free, free, free!! Just be ready for a real eye opener compared to Micro-SOFTY firewall to this wonder of a tool. Oh, I forgot to mention, these developers address any problems ultrafast. This may be a little frustrating but assess how much the next release fixes and if you're being affected that you must endure the dial up download times. Regardless, worth the download by all means.

I don't really know why you would go through all this trouble to just show how effective it is. If Bill Gates used ZA Firewall, he would never get that many intrusions in real life.

Sir, can you guide me in the proper installation of this software? I tried to install it twice but everytime I try to connect to the net, "blue screen" occurs. Is there something I should configure prior to connecting to the net? Thank you very much.

then you wouldn't have so many attacks....try the "leak-test" and then you have something to brag about...at least McAfee knows the benefit of having all ports hidden!!!
