I needed protection on my computer against the constant attempts to infiltrate it by hackers every time i was on the Internet. My solution came by way of an advert I saw on my ISP's website for ZONEALARM.
The software is free for private users and downloadable directly from zonealarm.com web site.
Download time was minimal, 5 or 6 minutes and installation a doddle.
I now run this program every time I am on-line and it works. You get alerted everytime someone tries to access your PC. Any of your applications that require internet access such as webferret, Real player etc will not be allowed to do so until you authorise them.
Compatibility with other programs:
I have not experienced any problems with other programs while running ZONEALARM but I always unload it if I am not using the internet.
Real protection for your PC for the cost of a download and peach of mind knowing you are safe from attack.
Runs happily in the system tray and runs alongside such programs as Norton Safeguard and Anti Virus

You've certainly convinced me. I'm downloading it now. Thanks for the op. Mischa
