ZoneAlarm
What is ZoneAlarm?
ZoneAlarm is a personal firewall software application that includes an inbound intrusion detection system, as well as the ability to control which programs can create outbound connections. In ZoneAlarm, program access is controlled by way of "zones", into which all network connections are divided. The "trusted zone" generally includes the user's local area network and can share resources such as files and printers, while the "Internet zone" includes everything not in the trusted zone. The user can specify which "permissions" (trusted zone client, trusted zone server, Internet zone client) to give to a program before it attempts to access the Internet or, alternatively, ZoneAlarm will ask the user to give the program permission on its first access attempt.
