Although MSWIN XP has its own Firewall you would do better to turn it off, go to the `Zonelabs' website, download the Free version of Zonealarm, install it and give it a go. Study it for an evening and see how many access attempts there are on your computer. I promise - you will never go back from using this great firewall. Go to the Gibson Research Corporation on the internet and test your systems vulnerability using the software on that site - all free. Now if you want to make the next leap by having a more sophisticated version of Zonealarm then go Pro with this one. The pro version offers the following additions to the free version.

- An improved approval program for Internet Access.
- Advanced security controls.
- Automatically stops pop-up ads so you can surf in peace.
- Prevents personal data from leaving your computer without permission.
- Checks for and deletes adware cookies.
- Blocks adware cookies but allows cookies from trusted sites.
- Protects your privacy and improves PC performance.
- Tracks hacker attempts and anonymously reports offenders to their ISPs.
- Monitors outgoing email and halts messages with potential viruses.

Now as an all in one tool you could also opt for the ZoneAlarm Security Suite that gives you an anti-virus program to top it all off, so as an all in one security system this really is a great solution for the home user. If you stick with the free version make sure to also use adaware and AVG, both free anti-ad/anti-virus software packages that help complement the free version but the all in one Security Suite is still you best buy.

In Short, this is an essential security product.
