Zone Alarm : Best personal firewall

April 13th, 2009 No comments

 

Zone Alarm is a top-notch firewall with excellent hacker and virus protection capabilities.

 

ZoneAlarm

It is capable of protecting files and the system registry from illegitimate intrusions. It is able to monitor incoming and outgoing traffic, as well as specific ports in your computer.

Zone alarm can make your surfing faster by denying the automatic updates of any media players or any softwares. Anything and everything that connects to Internet asks your permission.

After installing you will have a few hours  of annoying pop-up windows from Zone Alarm asking you to set trusted programs and so on. But it will be over once the programs you use frequently are learned by Zone Alarm.

So you can effectively identify any malicious program, spywares & remote keystroke loggers and block them.This can help you to prevent an attack  on your computer by preventing malicious software from updating itself or downloading more and more malicious software.

A firewall should be considered as an essential software and Zone Alarm an essential first choice !
