This is a review of the Software, “Zone Alarm Pro” which is a firewall program. This software consists of many built in features that will protect your computer from viruses and hackers. In this review, I will show you in more detail what you can expect out of the program.

What is Zone Alarm Pro?

Zone Alarm Pro is a firewall program with many built features. It’s kind of like little programs built into one. Each one does something different which will protect your computer from hackers and viruses. Below you will find a description of each feature.

Network and Program Firewall

This part of Zone Alarm Pro will stop inbound and outbound attacks on your computer. Hackers are forever trying to attack computers to see what they can gain. This feature will stop that attack before it happens. Every time an attack is attempted on your computer a message will pop up and alert you that an attempt was just blocked. It will also stop programs from attacking your computer. The multiple layers of security in Zone Alarm will protect you from these attacks.

Anti-Spyware

Spyware is easily installed on your computer without you knowing. It is software that will record your every move. It records what you type in where and can record your passwords and more. Spyware is most often downloaded onto your computer when you download and install a program or game. With this feature of Zone Alarm, you will be alerted when spyware has been installed on your computer and it will be deleted.

Operating System Firewall

This is a great feature offered with the Zone Alarm Pro package. Often, hackers will create viruses that will attack your operating system, but with the Operating System Firewall, you will be protected from those attacks. This part of Zone Alarm will catch the attack before it happens, so you will not have to worrying about your entire computer going down.

SmartDefense Service

With Zone Alarm Pro, you will not have to worry about updating the latest versions and features of the program. The SmartDefense Service feature will automatically update your software with the latest versions and features.

Automatic Wireless Security

Often, hackers on wireless networks will try to gain access to your computer. But with the Automatic Wireless Security feature, you don’t have anything to worry about. This feature will protect you from the wireless attacks.

Email Security

This part is for your email. This will stop out going email from being sent if it has a virus attached to it. It will also check incoming email to make sure it is virus free. It also scans the attachments. This is great to have, because sometimes when you send an email, you have no clue that a virus is attached. This part of Zone Alarm Pro will take care of that for you.

Identity Theft Protection

Identity Theft is on the rise. Every time you turn around someone’s identity is being stolen, but with the Identity Theft Protection feature in Zone Alarm Pro, you don’t have to worry about that. This feature will protect your computer from hackers who are looking to steal your identity both online and off.
