zone alarm is amazing it blocks everything if you have the firewall on HIGH, but sometimes certain programs will not work so you will have to configure it a bit.

I would give it a C. I used to use it when I was running windows ME. Now I use XP so I use windows firewall. Zone alarm does provide a good level of protection but it would mulfunction alot on my PC and stop friendly programs like Internet Explorer from working.

I've been using it for a while, and I have to say that I'm impressed how good it is for a freeware program. It uses more system resources than I wish it would, but I suppose that's the price to pay for protection.
ZoneAlarm is great for blocking annoying programs that try to get on the internet, or even discover is some unknown program is trying to get on the internet. I give it a 4.8/5.

in the past, actually it's good...surprisingly it caused my pc to stop, showing a blue screen of death and restarts...it's hard to find out and know that it was zone alarm's fault...after uninstalling it, problem solved!
ashampoo firewall i think works well!

most virus are spread through IE. IE is not a safe browser. you should use a more secure browser to protect your PC from virus.
i recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can block any any popup and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE browser. as you know, most of virus spread throught internet and webpage.
besides, firefox is much smaller than IE, so it run faster than IE.
download firefox for free, Just have a try:

It is pretty good, but if you are using a router, or have a network provider that uses routers, it will not make much difference, as routers are firewalls.
