See the Triple Defense Firewall
Blocked Intrusion statistics are provided in the 'Overview' module, 'Status' tab - there you'll find blocked intrusion statistics for inbound, outbound, email, anti-virus, anti-spyware, and Instant Messaging. All ports are of course stealthed by Zone Alarm, rendering your computer invisible to attack.

For those new to Zone Alarm or Internet Security/Firewalls in general....the setup wizard is straightforward and guides to an easy configuration for all modules. Once set up, you'll find a logical and compact user interface which provides quick access to all modules.
Zone Alarm will ask if you want to grant Internet access to particular programs (small 'Alert' windows will appear when a program tries to access the Internet). You can select to 'always allow' access for trusted programs so to prevent unnecessary 'Alerts'. Permission status is noted in the 'Program Control' module, 'Programs' tab - there you can view and modify Internet access permissions.

Test your Firewall using the tests in our Testing Section - we've collected up a battery of firewall tests from around the web. Run your new firewall through its paces - you'll know your system is secure.
Adjust the slider settings for 'Cookie Control' and 'Ad Blocking' - these are found in the 'Privacy' module, 'Main' tab - you may find too much Internet content disappearing with the slider set to 'High'. I personally set these to 'Medium' as the best combination for security and access to Internet content I want.
A new spyware detection toy, built right into the suite...can you ever have too many spyware scanners these days? The new module immediately spotted a few intruders, and has run unobtrusively ever since....picking up a few spyware cookies across all user accounts. Thumbs up Zone Labs. Good luck and good computing.
