Have been using Zonealarm -- free for about 4 -5 years. I quit updating it
because there were always fixes being made. The "Free" version, as has been
said before, is adequate for most users.

I thought you were technically correct given it's a common download now
and
you have to choose which to install during setup. One supposes that Free
is
now a crippled version of Pro. I may be wrong.

Sorry. I'm used to call ZA "pro". From now on I'll call it "free". In
any
case it is fairly simple and not bloated which was the point of the
thread.
It's all you need for a good firewall, maybe the best for the individual
user.

As I said like all developers ZA labs is adding stuff to the firewall
program including an anti-virus module. I don't plan on using that as it
is
not free.

Please explain the free version of Pro !

From what I understand there are several versions now of ZA. The
free
version is still small and quick and very useful. There is a suite
with
everything and a version with anti virus. I expect these are the one
with
bloat. I'm using the free version of "pro" and it works just fine.
