>Zone Alarm is the best of the home firewalls, but beware. There is a huge hole in all the home firewalls. If an application tries to gain access to the firewall that has the same name as another application that is always granted access rights, such as explorer.exe, then the firewall will let the application in.
ZoneLabs thought about that and ZoneAlarm will not be fooled that way! I think it does a CRC check on the .exe first.
