Stay informed of new programs and special features once a week. It works as the ultimate gatekeeper between you and the networked world. Immediately after installation, ZoneAlarm manages the data that flows in and out of your computer. While running on your desktop, you can monitor Internet activity in real time. You'll be informed whenever applications, such as hacker utilities, attempt to send and receive data.
Alerts are conveniently color-coded to indicate the severity of the security risk.
The program also offers detailed information on each event, including useful advice for handling the situation. ZoneAlarm indicates the IP address of the suspected intruder, and automatically downloads user info from Whois. By enabling ZoneAlarm's restrictive features, nobody will be able to break in, or even know you exist. ZoneAlarm consists of five integrated components to provide complete protection. First, it offers your own personal firewall that practically renders the PC invisible to the Internet.
