Zonealarm
Freeware version available
Alongside a good antivirus program and pyware programs,
these days its very important to have a firewall, without one, your computer is the equivalent of having a house with all the doors and windows open for anyone to enter and do as they please, but we are talking thousands of open windows and doors on a pc!
Just waiting for a hacker to take advantage!
First thing i do when installing a computer system is install zonealarm because
Zonealarm is an excellent and easy to use firewall with a great reputation!
It is pretty easy to use and suitable for the computer novice,being quick to install and set up,with a fast learning curve.
Some of the features i especially like are the "engage internet lock" and "stop internet activity" buttons,good for the truely paranoid as this is effectively the same as disconnecting your internet connection!
It is available in both free and paid versions.
Also check out Zone alarm security suite.
( Firewall with antivirus,anti spam,privacy settings and much more..Great firewall. Anti-virus. Superior email protection, including blocking Phishing(password stealing)emails. Cookie Control. Net Blocking. Secure password storage. It has it all!
after all why have all those separate programs when you can have it all in one? )
Its also worth mentioning that ZoneAlarm firewalls are currently protecting over thirty million computers!!
