Re: Latest Firewall Test Results Roundup - Zone Alarm (Free) Sucks! (Surprise)

Here's some screen grabs.

1.



This is one of the little boxes that pops up when the internet / LAN is accessed or teh FW regards the program's behaviour as suspicious (I've opened it up more, to show all the text). Normally what I do is add the app to the Trusted zone if it's like Firefox something I use a lot that i know is OK.


2.



This is the main window of the app, I'd just rebooted and then reconnected to the wireless explaining the lack of activity to the left! Very easy to see what is and isn't going off, the firewall however seems (after using for less than a day) to be a lot more advanced, a lot more customisable. I'd say it wasn't for anyone other than expert users.

3.



The main application control area. Not really much to say here.

4.



The log file. Haven't looked into this yet.

5.



Config area. Not really much interesting to say other than that this is the real nerve centre of the firewall (and I'm still working out myself exactly how it works!). The tree on the left expands into various areas to alter the settings for each program.

Just a taster - I'm continuing testing it, will probably come up with a more detailed review when I've been using it longer.

First impressions are very favourable.
