If you're not to keen on ZA, go with BlackIce Defender PC 3.5. It will
protect the network well. The IDS/firewall that BlackIce has is excellent.
BlackIce, because of the IDS that BlackIce has always had in it, along with
it's firewall capabilities, provide excellent protection for the network
At this time, firewalls like ZA don't have IDS in them yet, therefore, they
cannot protect the network like BlackIce, which is the only one at this time
that has IDS.
