Zone Alarm Personal Firewall Application
If
you have broadband (Cable or DSL) and don't have a router, you need
a software Firewall. And, Windows XP's built-in Firewall isn't enough!
I prefer Zone Alarm.
Even
if you have a broadband router installed, Zone Alarm does something
to warrant its use, anyway. While it helps to block inbound attacks
on your system, it also monitors outbound activity. When another application
tries to access your network or the Internet, it will pop up a dialog
box asking if it is OK. This is a good indicator of possible virus infection.
Features:
- Automatic blocking of
inbound traffic
- Instantly cut off Internet
activity, if suspicious activity is noted
- Ability to customize URLs
and IP addresses to allow or reject access
- Editable list of applications
and their allow/reject settings
