Go to ZoneAlarm.com and click on the menu of products from which to browse. Click on free firewall and download the suite to your computer. This software is a great product if you are just looking for a minimum-security system for your home PC. Businesses really need a heftier firewall and anti-spyware program, which also can be purchased at ZoneAlarm.

Check out all the features that are provided by ZoneAlarm and activate those that you need. If you currently have an email protection from another free source, such as AVG, then disable the email protection. Your email will be very slow, or sometimes stopped all together, if you have two programs running at the same time for the same protection.
