    WOW... what would you like to know?



    The latest version 4.5.538 works very well... I use it as a security measure for outgoing traffic more than incomming as I have a router to handle incomming data packets.



    Its easy to setup program and gives you all the information you'll ever need on what programs for files want to access the internet, you can give access or deny internet access any program you wish .. it is like a few other Software firewalls a must have application in your collection.



    for one thinh having a software fireall it lets you know what programs want to access the net.. nad you will be supprised at what wants to connect..... the program gives you control rather than the program... give access or deny what you wish!

    Ditto to what Mr. H said. I like it and I depend on it heavily for control of programs that want to reach out on their own or want to act as servers and receive without my control. My router stops the incoming baddies, and that leaves ZA to do the much dirtier work of making sure I have complete control over home-phoners and such.

    Easy, efficient, effective.

    Hi ace
    I would go along withe the other's. For the average user zone is most probably the best. If however you are very experienced at configuring firewalls then sygate or outpost may be a better choice as they are much more configurable but failure to configure them correctly will leave ports open after you have closed them. Which is not a good idea at all so choose wisely
