Doesn't appear to be freeware... Seems to be a 30 day evaluation...

Recommend Sygate Personal Firewall

http://smb.sygate.com

Advise against the free version of ZoneAlarm as it offers limited
protection, and may lull people into a false sense of security while
allowing attacks in.

It looks like beta testers are allowed to "evaluate" the product to
me. I feel pretty safe with Kerio 2.1.5.

Please explain with examples.

The free version of ZoneAlarm (that comes with NTL broadband, for
example) only quarantines VBscript attachments, not others. Users may
think they are safe from email viruses and the like.

Not to mention the constant pressure to buy the "professional"
version.

But, it's a personal matter. I prefer Sygate, and as such recommend it
over ZoneAlarm.

I've tried Sygate, ZoneAlarm and Norton, and I recommend Kerio. Best
firewall...

If you want to use the free ZoneAlarm and block other types of dangerous
scripts, just install AnalogX Script Defender. It will work great with
ZoneAlarm.

Personally I prefer Kerio 2.1.5. I have tried ZoneAlarm, Sygate and
Outpost. Kerio 2.1.5 is my favourite.

I prefer Kerio 2.1.5 also. I've tried Norton, ZoneAlarm and Sygate. But
not Outpost. What did you think of Outpost? I've always been curious
about it...
