Open Zone Alarm and choose Program Control from menu options. You can change allowed/denied programs there.

I know that whenever Zonelabs issues an upcate to its suite, I always have the choice as it installs to install it as a "Reinstall" or as an "Update". They say that the update "keeps all your previous settings", and that the full install resets everything. I have misplaced my URL from Zonelabs when I got my last update, so here is another place to get it: http://software-files.download.com/software/10346119/10061193/3/zapSetup_55_062_004.exe?lop=link&ptype=3150&ontid=10435&siteId=4

How come it's freeware? are there several versions, like limited edition?

I am starting with internet at home in May, and I'M new to WinXph and SP1 and SP2.

Zonealarm does have a free basic firewall, for noncommercial use. The security suite includes Zonealarm Pro, AV, and Mailfrontier spam filter. Retail price is ~US $70.

They present it as a freewre on their page, and this is repeated as such on various sites.

I downloaded it myself last week with several others (I am currently evealuating them in sequence).

Once installed, you find out that it is really an evaluation version, and will expire after 30 days (there is a countdown displayed).

The method is dishonest enough that I will not go for them, at any rate.

On the Zone Labs Free Downloads page, it says "15 Day Free Trial." I don't think they are trying to trick anybody.

When you first install ZA you are presented with 2 options. 1 is the full version that is marked by default. The other option is just a "basic" firewall install that has no limit.

If you ever have that situation again, go to "program control", "programs" tab. Right click on the program and select remove. Or, left click and change permission to "ask" or "denie". Which ever your prefrence is. No need to wait or do a fresh install or update.

It seems that there are several versions of the download, available from several places.

Anyway, after 5 weeks trying, evaluating, and throwing in the deep end, the various products available, Zone Alarm Pro (NOT the suite, just the firewall) is my personal best choice.

It has all the features I need, resists (when correctly configured) to all I tried, and is not too difficult to support remotely (I needed a firewall to advise and support, as a consultant).

There was a technically better product, but it is too complicated to use, so remote (over the phone, remote supports over internet open security loopholes which I do not accept) support is not practical. Furthermore, one feature was completely bugged, and useless.

Oh, and I actually BOUGHT and registered it. The freeware/evaluation issue was only about evaluating them all...
