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’.

If you find you have malware problems in one form or another, a good firewall is your first line of defense against the World Wide Web. G/L.
