Publisher's description of ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP) 7.0.362
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 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. Version 7.0.362 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
Note:ZoneAlarm is free for individual and not-for-profit charitable entity use (excluding governmental entities and educational institutions). Advanced features are available.
Editor's review of ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP) 7.0.362
5.0 stars
- "A totally free, very effective firewall"
An effective and easy-to-use firewall program, ZoneAlarm does a great job of keeping your PC safe from a variety of threats. ZoneAlarm uses a simple wizard to make configuring a firewall, which seems like a daunting task to many computer users, incredibly easy.
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 allows you to assign different security levels for a local network and for the Internet.
A great recent addition is small but quite helpful. A new "Game Mode" lets you automatically allow or deny alerts when you're in the middle of playing a video game. 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. ZoneAlarm is an excellent firewall choice for just about any average user.

Version: ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP) 7.0.362
"A solid fiewall to be appraised by millions all over the globe."
Pros: Works perfect with XP. Solid firewall.
Cons: Alot of security patch and less firewall alerts. And, it lacks of program firewall, also known as Defense+ in Comodo.
In overall, Comodo holds the royale crown.

Version: ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP) 7.0.362
Pros: Does everything it should - ideal for a network connected PC, having separate "trusted" and "Internet" zones - and nothing it shouldn't. Nice straightforward interface: very easy to create rules, add IP addresses to trusted zone, and generally manage traffic. Integrates well with Security Center. Never appears to consume excessive resources, or otherwise slow the machine.

Version: ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP) 7.0.362
Pros: looks good, sounds good
Cons: This software gave me the BSOD after restarting after install, i had to go into safe mode to remove it and stopped the BSOD's, Comodo is better because Comodo is stronger than Zonealarm pro and its free and it contains any features you had in zone alarm
