To celebrate the fifteenth anniversary, Checkpoint Software, the security firm behind the popular ZoneAlarm firewall is offering everyone a free copy of ZoneAlarm Pro 2009. The promotion runs for 24 hours, starting at 09:00 EST (06:00 PDT) today, and includes a one-year license for one PC running Windows XP or Vista.

If the only firewall you are using is the one included with Windows, then you might want take advantage of this offer by signing up here – you'll have to wait for an email with the download link.

Not sure why you really need anything more than windows firewall. If you have a router plus windows firewall I would say you are pretty safe unless you are super paranoid or have a group of secret skilled hax0rs trying to get into your computer Seriously I don't even run anti-virus... Why? cuz I know what I'm doing and I occasionally run a free complete scan. That why I have no unneeded programs slowing my computer down. Everyone has different levels of computer knowledge so to each there own.
