What it does
ZoneAlarm provides consumer firewall and antivirus products with controls for inbound and outbound network traffic.
ZoneAlarm's two-way firewall is the feature to examine when an application needs limited network access. Its site offers a free antivirus-and-firewall package alongside broader security products. Identify the application and the connections it needs, then review rules and notifications. Choose the package's scope deliberately: a firewall rule controls network access but does not establish that a program is harmless.
