you can get zonealarm from here for free www.zonelabs.com its pretty good and i know alot of people that use it and they have never really had a problem with it
ZoneAlarm never goes away.

After emailing ZoneLabs I got the same 3 page unistallation instructions: http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=219157 I did everything I could to get rid of it for a few days straight. This including reinstalling it twice. Needless to say I;m furious.
again...i would recommend Tiny Personal Firewall it is free, and can be downloaded at:
http://www.tinysoftware.com
ZoneAlarm really is bad, by recommending it you show you really understand little and are easily leasd by other people.
It is a resource hog, contains spyware of some sort and is simple which is not good except for your granny.
I recommend
www.anyotherfirewalloutthere.org
yeah i got cable modem too. so i would recommend Norton Internet Security 2002....its easy to configure, if even need to. cuz it already detects port scans, access to unused ports by remote systems, trojan horse programs, and just some common ports hackers use and ****. also, i just dont fully trust those free firewall programs.

On my home computer, I use Norton Personal Firewall 2001 in conjunction with Norton Anti-Virus 2001.
I am presently looking for a firewall program to install on a 300+Mhz PC that uses a cable modem and has limited system resources. Any ideas?
thanks for all the help
i tried tiny but it won't install
i'm gonna try norton next
yes strug.. what every u are using to connect to the net u must have a firewall...
adn there are many firewalls avaliable for free... so there is no need for u to buy...

On my windows desktops I use sygate personal firewall
www.sygate.com
However except that software firewall I also use a separate linux based firewall box to protect my LAN
i am currently using sygate but it is only a trial
is there a way to get it permanently for free
otherwise i think i will use norton
my box is protected by zone alarm and black ice defender
combined you should have any problems
and u can get em for free
or trial but u can always renew it
Download Sygate Personal Firewall PRO and then goto http:www.astalavista.com and get the reg key
nevermind i had the pro version
now it is working great
