Definition: ZoneAlarm is a popular network security software utility created by Zone Labs. ZoneAlarm is a free download, and ZoneAlarm Pro is an enhanced version with a low purchase price.

Primarily, ZoneAlarm / Pro acts as a firewall when installed on a LAN. It can filter incoming packets or outgoing requests on a per-port basis.

ZoneAlarm also supports higher-level features that ordinary firewalls do not. For example, ZoneAlarm scans email attachments for viruses, and the Pro version also supports ad blocking, cookie management, and Internet cache management.
