 Zone Alarm Pro, 2008-02-25
Takes a little effort to get all the permissions set up but it has definitely stopped several excursions by unwanted others into my laptop. Does a good job as a Cookie Killer too

 Awful Awful Awful, 2008-02-21
I bought this as a download directly from the Zone Alarm webiste. (I didn't realize it was available on Amazon. The online price was $59.70 - Amazon is half that.) Anyway, after downloading the firewall, I had to reboot the computer. Every time I clicked on any desktop icon, the whole computer froze. Even clicking on something like Microsoft word would cause the computer to freeze. I couldn't even turn off the computer from the desktop because the mouse wouldn't work. I had to hold in the on/off button on the computer to turn it off. After about fifteen reboots (literally), I was able to get to the control panel and I tried to uninstall the darned garbage. Guess what? It would not let me uninstall it - AAAARGHHH!!!! I am not a computer whiz so I tried calling their tech support. The recording says to enter your credit card number and then a tech will talk to you for $2.95 a minute. My mama didn't raise dummies. I hung up - no sense throwing good money after bad. I'm going to call my credit card company and see if they can delete the download charge. I was finally able to get to system restore, but it wouldn't let me run that either. I have a program on my computer called Norton Ghost and I was eventually able to get that to run. It erased my hard drive completely and restored it to what it was 2 days earlier (I have a back up hard drive for just such purposes). I hoped this would work and it did. Bottom line: Avoid this firewall - it is pure, unadulterated trash. The only reason I gave this one star is because Amazon does not have a negative star option. By the way, I use Windows XP service pack 2.

 Some words of caution, 2007-04-12
This program comes highly recommended by the techies, but the average computer user needs to be aware that Zone Alarms technical support site has very limited and difficult to decipher information. You don't get even one contact with a customer support representative unless you pay a stiff fee. Initially, it appeared that Zone Alarm's approach to protection from the nasties on the internet was to deny me all internet access. I found some helpful information from another ZA user, and I still have ZA installed, but if the company had been my only resource, I would have had to trash the whole program. Periodically, I still have problems with ZA denying me internet access unless I reboot my computer.

Great Program with One Mild Weakness, 2007-01-27
I installed and used ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall based upon much internet research, and I have liked it. It was user friendly and did not appear to present much of a drag on my system (AMD Athlon 950 Mhz, 500 MB DDRAM, Win XP Home, SP 2). My later research, however, found readings suggesting that the AV component was not as strong as some. For that reason, I eventually switched to BitDefender Plus 10, which is my current program. However, I don't think you can go wrong with ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall.

 Outstanding Firewall Software, 2007-01-12
I really enjoy using this software firewall. Once you set it up, it is very easy to use, and very effective, too. I highly recommend using this product, especially if you use DSL like I do. Don't go on the internet without using this product, and with the privacy filter, you are protected.
