I used ZoneAlarm for a few weeks. It's horrible, I really don't understand how it has gained such support. Even the parts the user gets to see, suck beyond belief. Configuration sucks, it's just really, really poo.


Hhhmmm.  I LIKE ZA's interface!  Have you used Norton Personal Firewall?  As well as being useless AS a firewall, it's UI is horrific.

I'm a ZA fan, it's done a mighty fine job for me for the past six months or so.

The best free Firewall available is Kerio Personal Firewall, it is alot more powerful than ZA and alot more customizable too.


Thanks for the heads-up, that looks pretty good on paper, I'll download it and give it a go.

While searching for some info about it, I found this great comparison, maybe some people will find it helpful.

She more than *looks* menacing!  But I've changed my avatar to one that looks less menacing!



@Glaucus
Yeah, the 'scores' are completely misleading!  The feature comparison's nice tho.  I wouldn't mind knowing which leaktest ZA failed.
