For a long time I have used Zone Alarm and always found it an excellent
firewall for a free version. Recently I have gone to broadband - YAY! I
am now using a hardware router/modem unit as my three machines are
networked through it. When my broadband connection was set up the tech
suggested to me that a software firewall is no longer needed as the
router acts as a hardware firewall and is more effective. He wasn't
dogmatic about it, just sowing a thought. I wondered, although I guess
the only freeware connection here is Zonealarm, could some kind people
suggest whether I need to keep it going or not. Many thanks.
