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.
The Internet
lock blocks
Internet
traffic
while your
computer is
unattended
or while
you're not
using the
Internet,
and it can
be activated
automatically
with your
computer's
screensaver
or after a
set period
of
inactivity.
Zones
monitor all
activity on
your
computer and
alert you
when a new
application
attempts to
access the
Internet.
