I agree that ZoneAlarm is not a suitable replacement for a good
router/firewall device in a corporate environment.  However, in
ZoneAlarm's defense ("despise" is such a strong word, Denys!) I have
found that it works quite well on my home machine.  And once it's
configured, I only see it pop up when applications are installed or
updated, which isn't very often.

I see that Art ("The Original") is big into BlackICE.  What does this
product do that ZoneAlarm does not?  What about other PC-based
firewalls?

A fair question.  I have had too many places where the service runs
away
with the machine.  And it keeps popping up at the most inopportune
moments.

I find that in a corporate environment, a good router like a
Watchguard
or some such does a tremendous job.

Oh, and just to throw fuel on the fire; I despise Zone Alarm.  :-)
