Until 6am PST tomorrow morning, the Zone Labs folks are giving the Pro version of their firewall product away for free.

To be honest, I haven’t used ZA for a few years now, having switched to Comodo’s free firewall product about a year ago. It had tons of options to tweak, and in the end, I became disenfranchised with the notion of setting them each time I restored my Windows box (every few months).

In the end, I switched back to the default firewall that comes with Windows, and since I never have any problems anyway, I feel it’s good enough for my SOHO box. That being said, I’m never one to pass up on a good deal, especially when it’s free ‘as in air’.

By reassigning one Windows partition drive letter to another, you can easily copy all the data in one quick motion. An added benefit is that the application shortcuts will still work without having to reinstall all the applications. [src]
