Firewall Software to Protect Your Computer

Zone Alarm Firewall Software to Protect  PC
Zone Alarm Firewall Software to Protect Your Computer  - Zone Alarm is the most venerable firewall software currently on the market.  I have been personally using the software for over 7 years and reviewed Zone Alarm Extreme Security here.  Unfortunately, the software has suffered from compatibility problems in more recent versions. In fact, I have had to support many instances where Zone Alarm and existing Internet Security Software have conflicted and even prevented a system from bootingA firewall prevents unsolicited communication to and from your computer.
Sometimes a virus, spyware, worm, or a trojan (a virus that allows other people to control your computer) might automatically install on your Windows XP or Vista computer. A firewall will detect these malicious programs installation and prevent them from communicating to the hacker who might want to control your PC. Free Zone Alarm is probably the easiest most established firewall software to use. Another great firewall is Comodo Free personal firewall.  The company is fairly new in the firewall software scene. However, the software has won PC Magazine's editor choice.  I have seen the software recommended all over the web. I would definitely also give it a look.
