I have used Zone Alarm for a long time. It is the best Personal firewall
out there and it is free! but if you don't turn off the option to tell you
about every thing, person, or program that tries to access you, it will take
all your time just acknowledging these warnings.
The web community is a very big place and there are many, many entities
trying to cause problems for others or to simply use other persons equipment
to do their dirty work.
Just turn the notification off in Zone Alarms options and forget it. Trust
Zone Alarm to keep them out. I do.
It takes a while to inform Zone alarm which programs you want to allow to
access the Internet from your computer, but once you have given permission
(remember to check the box for "remember this decision" so ZA doesn't keep
asking you about the same program) ,Zone Alarm will do its job quietly.
