I have to be honest until a couple of months ago, I didn’t even know what a firewall was, well I do now and quickly downloaded zonealarm.com

Well, a firewall is basically what the name suggests, a kind of alarm that tells you when your data is being intercepted or trying to be accessed from a different computer. When, you’re on the internet with the right software someone out there can get into your computer, all they need to know is your Internet Port number and they can track you down, to the nearest town, and if like me you have BT internet ISP then it can be very easy.
But, don’t worry it takes time and very few people can actually hack into your computer. So, why worry?

It’s better to be safe than sorry, zonealarm.com will protect me from intruders not that I have anything to hide. So, if you download this product you will protected by a wall, so it’s very difficult, almost impossible for anyone to access your data. Whilst on the net, you will find that from time to time you will be informed if anyone does try.

You can get zonealarm.com free from download.com or most other download sites and you can also download straight from the site. The download is fast however, it does slow your computer up when you start your computer. A little bar code icon red and green will appear at the right hand side of your computer. Just click on that for all the information. It’s very easy to use, you can also be kept up to date with new products and information from zone alarm.

The software is free and therefore even more of a reason to download it. You can configure it to set the settings to your own liking. From Alerts, to Security you have complete control. You can even set the settings to set which sites the zonelarm.com access. More control for you.

Sometimes, when I talk to my friend on MSN, I get disconnected from someone trying to boot me, well since I have had this software I ha
ve been able to chat freely and without hassle.
Overall this is an excellent free software from zone alarm, easy to download and protects your computer from outside intruders.
