Didn't mean to embarass you in any way, sam. No hard feelings I just replied to the question whether it was a rip off.

ZoneAlarm is free. I am laughing at you. Please research before posting. Visit http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conten..._freedownloads to clear your doubts.

Search Google for ZoneALarm free and laugh at yourself. CLick on link given by me and find free version of ZA there. Laught at yourself and not at others.

Even I have a image for you.


I don't know what to say about you pranay. Windows XP SP2 firewall only provides inbound protection whereas ZoneAlarm free also covers outbound protection.

ZoneAlarm has so much config and options to monitor the Internet and the firewall is much more secure. Also the firewall is updated regularly through new versions of ZA whereas Windows XP SP2 firewall sucks.

Clear your basics first pranay. ZoneAlarm free is even better than Kerio which turns into limited free edition after 30 days trial so Kerio is not really free whereas ZA is completely free.

Features of ZA free
Solid security foundation for your Internet connected PC.(not in SP2 firewall it is a weak foundation)

Stops intruders from accessing your PC.

Makes your PC invisible to hackers.(not in SP2 firewall)

Quarantines suspicious email attachments.(not in SP2 firewall)

unless mentioned, ZONEALARM means ZONEALARM PRO.
chill guys dont fight. the pro edition is way beyond the free one.
the free one still lacks
1. Advanced Anti-virus
2. identity theft & Privacy protection
3. Ad-popup blocker
4. anti-phinshing and spam blocker
5. instant message security
6. Automatic Wireless network configuration

and navjotjsingh, there's a better way of advising someone.

I did not want to fight but only make him realise that ZoneAlarm is free and better firewall than Windows XP Firewall. Sorry for the rude way but I got irritated.

ok, lets end this.
i admit that zone alarm is a good freeware

but as stated by Mr smith, i expect a reasonable behaviour from a responsable member of this forum. i have always learned from the people here. everything i know today is a result of what i've read in the digit mag and forum.. and the learning never stops.

thanks everyone

Ok, here's a great download manager. Once you switch, there's no looking back. Trust me.

http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/

No strings attached. Absolutely no spyware, third party ads, nags. None. Zilch. Nada. Zero.

Cheers,
Keith
