Zone Labs has been bought by Check Point.

If it becomes Pay ware you can always go Kerio Personal Firewall (free for
non comercial use). :)

I found it stabler, less system resources, and didn't crash on me like Zone
Alarm did.

Another good free firewall is Sygate Personal. It's a lot like Kerio. So
nobody need worry about the free version of ZA going away.

I went to both sites http://smb.sygate.com/ and
http://www.kerio.com/us/kpf_home.html and
I don't see where either one of these are free. What did I miss?
