ZoneAlarm 8.0.298 is created to meet all your need to protect your DSL- or cable-connected PC from hackers. Only ZoneAlarm combines offline identity protection services with online technologies to stop thieves from stealing your identity. Award-winning Anti-Spyware  aggressively blocks and removes spyware, including 'adware' that other products ignore.

Rootkits and operating system attacks can by-pass other defenses and take control of your computer. The Root & Boot Protection shields you during startup and beyond to stop these attacks. Fast, Safe, and Easy to use  for novices with our new One-Click Fix It interface, yet powerful and customizable for more advanced users.

This program includes four interlocking security services: a firewall, an application control, an Internet lock, and Zones. The firewall controls the door to your computer and allows only traffic you understand and initiate.

The Internet lock blocks Internet traffic while your computer is unattended or while you're not using the Internet, and it can be activated automatically with your computer's screensaver or after a set period of inactivity. Zones monitor all activity on your computer and alert you when a new application attempts to access the Internet.
