ZoneAlarm is designed to protect your DSL- or cable-connected PC from hackers. This program includes four interlocking security services: a firewall, an application control, an Internet lock, and Zones. The firewall controls the door to your computer and allows only traffic you understand and initiate. The application control allows you to decide which applications can and cannot use the Internet.

Note: ZoneAlarm is free for individual and not-for-profit charitable entity use (excluding governmental entities and educational institutions).

Powerful combination of firewall and antispyware to address latest Internet security problems. Agnitum's Outpost PRO protects you from hackers, malware, ID thefts, unwelcome connections and other threats.

What's New:
· Improved system performance.
· Additional protection through "scan before execute" option.
· New spyware signature analyzer.
