Windows 7: ZoneAlarm Free Firewall

The bottom line: ZoneAlarm Firewall Free 9.2 has gotten quieter and more effective, and should be considered an excellent tool for replacing the adequate default Windows firewall with a stronger option that includes better outbound protection, antiphishing guards, and ZoneAlarm's behavioral detection network.

This doesn't look so bad.

Thanks K-7.

I run a dual-boot (XPx86/7x64) with a slew of legacy and newer games on XP. I kept XP because I still revisit the legacies and I did not want to go through the hassle of reinstalling all of the others on Windows 7.

I run the free Comodo Suite on Windows 7 but on the XP, I run ZA v.7 because I suffered the infamous ZA/ISP conflict with v. 8. After that I stopped upgrading and no longer follow ZA since my XP surfing is limited to known/safe sites, primarily game patches.

So I will give v. 9.2 a try.

ZA firewall doesn't do very well on Matousec tests:

I used Comodo just fine on XP, and continue to use it on Windows 7, always highly rated.

I went with Comodo for a test run. I keep reading reports about a log file under Zone Alarm getting out of control, up to several gigs worth of logfile data after a few days. I didn't feel like worrying about stuff like that.
