Version: ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP) 7.0.483
Pros: I had a problem due to the DNS patch recently released. I downloaded the new version and it didn't help. I uninstalled the old ZA and then reinstalled this new version, not upgrade, clean install-- and works beautifully.
Cons: ZA needs to quit nagging about buying the security suite or pro version.

Version: ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP) 7.0.483
"So far, so good! It's replacing Comodo!"
Pros: I tried Comodo - another popular free firewall - and it never properly learned my computer or programs. It was constantly making me approve everything 4 or 5 times each and it was driving me crazy. I couldn't take it anymore.
I just removed it today and replaced it with ZA and so far it's behaving and not annoying. It seems to remember my programs and "good stuff" and work behind the scenes. So far, so good!
Cons: When I installed it, it crashed Norton AntiVirus and forced me to uninstall that program and reinstall it. I didn't want to do that because it's a long and tedious process but couldn't be avoided. Now both programs are working in harmony but it's unfortunate that I had to go through that step.
I blame that on the way that Norton is set up and doesn't allow for the user to temporarily disable it while installing a program.

Version: ZoneAlarm Firewall (Windows 2000/XP) 7.0.483
Pros: It's a good firewall,it does the job.It prevents you from someone hacking your pc.
Cons: Did not work on my vista machine.It kept showing me blue screens of death,even though it says it's vista ready?
Comodo Firewall is much better.It's for xp and vista.
