ZoneAlarm is one of the best firewalls out there, and
being free makes it all that much more attractive. I
would recommend it if you are using a DSL or Cable
modem connection, as these high speed connections are
more vulnerable to hack attacks than dial-up modem
connections are. I even went as far as purchasing
ZoneAlarm Pro, that's how pleased I was with the
product, and I am not one who usually buys software
online. If you are using a dial-up connection, the
need for a firewall is much less. You should also
check with your ISP first to see if they use a
proxy/firewall on their network.
