Firewalls are a great way to protect you computer from virus’s, hackers, and other crap you don’t want on your computer. There are many firewall programs, but the most efficient firewall is built into a hardware router, a router automatically hides your computer IP address so that people can’t get into your computer using your IP address, which is the most common way.

A firewall basically filters information coming in through the Internet to your network or personal computer. If you use the Internet frequently it is very wise to have a firewall to protect you from infection. There are firewall programs that will ask you if you want to allow a certain program to run on your computer, allow a download to proceed, and block lots of negative activity from affecting your computer. Personally I think the best free firewall program on the net is Zone Labs firewall.

Go to the following link and click on the “download and buy?link to the left. There will be a few links on the page near the top, they offer anti spy ware and anti virus programs as well, click on the Zone Alarm, there you can read up on the capabilities of this program. Click the “free download?link and you will come to another page, just click the “download free Zone Alarm?link and the download window should pop-up.
