Zone Alarm

I'm using the trial version of Zone Alarm. Is Zone Alarm Pro better and worth buying??

Is that for personal computer ? I have used Z.A before and I liked it, and I still have it on kid's computer , but if you want to go with official rating then may be you should look for something else:

Cool

I cannot speak from personal experience but every thing I have heard about the free version has been positive so save your money until you find them wrong. Many so called Pro version programs are not more efficient than the free one at the basic stuff. Some of the Pro versions sold are just bloated up with stuff you can do without. As another reply states, read the article on Firewalls.
