Performance of ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus + Firewall is very good. Users can also set it to allow all firewall requests, which is obviously less secure. One surprising feature of ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus + Firewall is " Game Mode," which allows you to temporarily suspend ZoneAlarm's popup notifications for uninterrupted gaming. There is also phishing and spyware protection built in.
The firewall will also give users a list of programs and their " Trust Level," which is a good way to quickly glance at suspicious applications.
ZoneAlarm Free Antivirus + Firewall's firewall features a log of the different programs that are accessing the internet.
