ZoneAlarm Free Firewall 4.3.260

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall blocks viruses that antivirus software alone misses, stops hackers attempting to break into your computer, and, unlike the default Windows firewall, provides outbound firewall protection to stop spyware from phoning home and botnets from taking over your PC.

• Get protected against inbound and outbound cyber attacks
• Block unwanted traffic and control program access to the internet
• Become invisible to hackers and guard your personal data

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall is easy for anyone to use. It operates automatically, due to its powerful DefenseNet cloud service, so users are not interrupted with unnecessary alerts.



Monitors programs for suspicious behavior and shields you from hackers, identity thieves, and other online threats when you connect to an unsecured network. ZA is only compatible with MS Windows Defender and is not compatible with any other anti-malware software.

To install the app, you must first uninstall other anti-malware software. Otherwise, you may experience OS stability and computer performance issues.
