I used to have zone alarm I even broke down and paid for the Zone alarm Pro. But since then i've switched to <a href="http://www.Kerio.com">Kerio</a> It allows better acces to your port usage, and being on a network is a little more secure, you can also (even on the Free version) you can set permissions, there are other things that make it nicer but you should go to their web site to see all the details. And Yes it runs across all platforms.<p>The fire wall that gives me the most protection though is my Router. If you have bought a (quality) router in the past 2 years then it automaticaly has one built into it and to see your settings you type in your web brouser the IP address of your router, Wich you can get by running a trace route in your command prompt.
