ZoneAlarm is definitely not the best firewall... heh far from it. However, most people are far too biased to give you an appropriate answer -most people will have only tried 1-3 firewalls.

I've only tried out Kerio 2.15, Kerio 4, Output, and the Windows Firewall in Windows. And from all of those, I found Kerio 2.15 to be the best, as it probably has the smallest memory footprint out of all the firewalls out there, and I've never run into a problem...it also has passed all security tests at pcflank.com, blackcode, auditmypc, and grc.

Try and stay away from firewalls that offer ad-blockers, cookie checkers, etc. if you don't need them.

I also like sygate although it doesn't have the smallest memory footprint.

I've use ZA, both Kerios, Norton, Mcaffee, I think Outpost, and it seems like one other.

I like the features and interfase of sygate the best. I had problems with Mcaffee not disabling when I told it to. Norton was sluggish and sloppy feeling. If I remember, both Kerios were just annoying for me.

second that.  I have been using it for quite a long time. Never had a problem.

    • Tor Browser 15.0.17 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.
