Zone Alarm Personal Firewall   Any computer that connects to the Internet should be protected by a good firewall.  Connecting to the Internet is like opening a door to your computer, but having an open door allows hackers to gain access to your computer, which is not good.  Once inside, hackers can steal your valuable personal data and use your PC to launch attacks on other computers, even on entire networks. A hacker can render your computer useless—to everyone except the hacker. To protect yourself from hacker attacks, you need a PC firewall. In effect, a PC firewall shuts your computer's door to hackers, allowing only authorized traffic to flow through. Only a PC firewall can block unauthorized access to your Internet-connected computer and protect against both known and unknown malicious software and Internet threats. Zone Alarm offers the best FREE personal firewall available and we recommend it highly. Download the FREE Zone Alarm Personal Firewall
