ZoneAlarm?

Does anyone recommend ZoneAlarm?  I've heard it's a great firewall and it's a free download.  Does it work?  Is it good?  

I have used it in the past and it was good.  There's a free version but for the full benefit you'd need the registered.  I recommend using more than one.. Zone Alarm and Sygate and Norton etc.

I'd have heard horror stories about Norton Internet Protection (or whatever it's called)... people saying it's not user-friendly.  Do you recommend it over ZoneAlarm?  I'd rather just purchase that.

i have never used norton, but i would highly recomend sygate personal firewall, it is free and gives you control of incoming and outgoing programs.  i hear zone alarm is very similar.

I use Norton and Sygate but the registered versions.  I wouldn't pay for any of the options out there.
