Tiny Personal Firewall integrates several protection layers for the ultimate
safety of the desktop and server. Traditional Firewall blocks the network traffic
based on protocol, ports, and application. Intrusion Detection and Prevention
blocks the network traffic based on the content of packets. Malicious packet
content is frequently used by hackers exploiting vulnerabilities of otherwise
trusted applications, such as Windows kernel components, IIS and others. Application
Security controls the behavior of applications and controls whether the application
may start itself or whether it may start others.

ZoneAlarm is designed to protect your DSL- or cable-connected PC from hackers.
This program includes four interlocking security services: a firewall, an application

computer and allows only traffic you understand and initiate. The application
control allows you to decide which applications can and cannot use the Internet.
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. Version 6.5.722 removes McAfee installation gate and
fixes an update problem with LastWriteTime.
