You Don't Have To Pay For Some Of The Best Personal Firewalls
Free personal firewalls may not necessarily have the full-bodied functionality you might expect from a subscription product. But a couple like Comodo, PC Tools Firewall Plus, and ZoneAlarm continue to punch well above their weight! The free products are intended for personal, charity and non-profit organisation use only. If you are a business user or home-based teleworker we would suggest you consider the upgraded versions, or good desktop personal firewalls, such as...CA Firewall ($29.99 - 3 PCs) ZoneAlarm Firewall Pro 2010 ($39.95 - 3PCs) ZoneAlarm Antivirus 2010 ($39.95 - 3 PCs) Free Firewalls
We advise you NOT to run two firewalls at the same time. They may make your system unstable.
