Advantages: Blocks almost all the incoming traffic and monitors all the out going traffic too.

Disadvantages: It drags the system slow to some extent.But with good RAM it works simply unnoticed.

If you are very much concerned about your computer being safe from viruses and other related threats then Zone Alarm if definitely a best buy to go for.Zone Alarm is a firewall that stops almost everything that comes in and goes out of your computer.It successfully checks the data being transferred for malicious behavior , attached viruses, probable threats, spy wares etc. Zone Alarm keep up update every minute for whats happening with you network and you computer. Zone Alarm is more known for its firewall support than its anti virus support. Zone Alarm also has a built in Anti Spy ware unit that keeps scanning you system for spy ware. There is a Vector live monitor unit that keeps scanning your system for viruses and probable behavior of viruses.
Zone Alarm also takes care of the programs that you are using.It ensures that the programs don't start to get unstable. It continuously monitors the programs for the rights they hold over a file so that the files can be protected from misuse.
Well but there is a suggestion : Zone Alarm drags your system a bit slow.This happens because of its live monitoring system that eats CPU. Thought it makes it a bit slow but its worth installing if you have a system which has RAM in excess of what i required as a default for Zone Alarm.
I hope this review will help you in choosing this amazing firewall.
