Basic Version Download

Zone Alarm is still available free but you will be offered the pro version as an option which will cost money - you will have to decide if the extra features are worth paying for. The basic product will still do an excellent job and is better then no protection at all.

Once you have Zone Alarm up and running it may be a little tricky if you are inexperienced with firewalls to interpret the data in the logs to see if anybody is trying to hack in to your system. Fortunately there is now a program available that will do this for you and seperate the innocent entries from the more serious hacking attempts.

The program is called Zonelog analyser from zonelog.co.uk and can be downloaded here
