PCMag.com Score - 5 out of 5 Stars (EXCELLENT)
 
Bottom Line
ZoneAlarm Pro 5.5's firewall protection, both against hack attacks and unauthorized programs, is near-perfect. Its AlertAdvisor minimizes the annoying program-authorization popups, and the program offers a number of bonus features to enhance your system's security.
 
Pros
Excellent protection against hack attacks and unauthorized programs. AlertAdvisor minimizes confirmation popups. Blocks executable e-mail attachments and worm-like behavior. Blocks ads, cookies, and scripts. Protects private information.
 
Cons 
At highest protection level, program-control popups require detailed attention from user. Configuration may still be challenging for some users.

I've been using ZoneAlarm for 6 years and it does everything I need it to do:

Keeps hackers out, Keeps programs in check from accessing the internet, and Keeps email worms in check. I won't be switching anytime soon.

I've used the free Zone Alarm firewall for 2 years now, and it works fine, but there are limitations: you can't set the program control to High (to block all outbound programs) and it only has very basic antivirus and no spyware detection. If you use other AV and spyware software, this is a good fit for home users.
