The bottom line: ZoneAlarm Firewall Free 9.2 has gotten quieter and more
effective, and should be considered an excellent tool for replacing the
adequate default Windows firewall with a stronger option that includes better
outbound protection, antiphishing guards, and ZoneAlarm's behavioral detection
network.

The changes made to improve the default firewall in Windows 7 are impressive,
but the newest version of the free ZoneAlarm Firewall argues that Microsoft
still has a long way to go. ZoneAlarm 9.2 introduces multiple new features to
one of the world's oldest computer security programs including quieter outbound
protection, behavioral detection from the ZoneAlarm Internet security suite,
automatic Wi-Fi security setting activation, antiphishing protection, an
overhauled ZoneAlarm toolbar, and 2GB of online storage for free.



Features and support

Designed to be used in conjunction with an antivirus program, the strongest
tool in ZoneAlarm's belt is the outbound firewall. Though Windows does offer
some outbound protection, it's not activated by default. Most users tend to
leave it off because they either don't know about it, or when they do turn it
on it regularly interrupts their workflow with pop-up security warnings. Older
versions of ZoneAlarm used to be noisy with pop-ups as well, but the new
version has been set to be quieter without changing the level of protection. If
you prefer, this can be changed in the program settings.

ZoneAlarm Firewall Free (screenshots)

   During a half-day of testing the default ZoneAlarm Firewall settings, the
only pop-ups encountered were those blocking new software installations. The
pop-ups for the three programs tested went away and allowed the installation to
proceed with one click. More than just a low rate of interference, only
encountering pop-ups for program installations is precisely the kind of warning
that keeps you aware of what's occurring on your computer without distracting
you simply for surfing the Web
