ZoneAlarm Free continuously monitors Internet activity through its True Vector Internet Monitor, and notifies me with an alert if it detects an unsafe, or disallowed activity. If I can’t be seen by cybercriminals, my risk exposure is reduced substantially. ZoneAlarm’s “stealth mode” keeps my computer invisible on the Internet. ZoneAlarm will prohibit botnet connections. Outbound protection is an absolute “must have” today, since the botnet threat continues to escalate. It provides strong inbound intrusion detection, coupled with strong outbound protection. It’s the least intrusive free Firewall that I’m aware of – Firewalls that demand attention every 5 minutes drive me crazy! In my 14 years of experience with ZoneAlarm Free, never once has it let me down. After all these years, ZoneAlarm Free continues to be my all time favorite free Firewall. ZoneAlarm Free (last updated November 23rd, 2010), was the first Firewall I installed on a personal system, and that was back in the early days of Internet connectivity – 1996. ZoneAlarm, for example, is a very robust, uncomplicated, free Firewall, which is non- intrusive, and very appropriate for casual computer users – and gets the job done. Most casual users that I come into contact with believe that Firewalls need to be expensive to ensure that they get the job none.

I’m always surprised when I get asked “ The Firewall” question – why do I need one? The answer is always the same – a Firewall, either Hardware or Software, is designed to block unauthorized access to your computer from the Internet, at the same time permitting protected authorized communications – provided it includes outbound protection.
