Installing a Firewall

Installing a Firewall on pc's is very easy. Generally all you need to do is press next all the time and it will install fine.

Here i am going to explain how to install Zone Alarm Firewall on a computer. First of all you need to download the free version of Zone Alarm from http://www.zonelabs.com/. When you have done this double click the .exe file and it should then open.The first screen you will see is this:

The first screen you will see is this:
The first thing that will appear is where the program will be saved to. To change the directory press the 'Browse' tab and select a directory. Then press the next button to continue.


On this screen you will need to put your name and email address into the boxes so that you can get onto the next screen. You can then untick the boxes if you want to. Press the next button to continue.

On this screen all you need to do is to agree to the agreement and then press install. The program will then start to install. You will see something like this appear next.


This is the program installing. Depending on your computers speed it should either install quickly or slowly. The program isnt that big so it should install quite fast. After it has installed you will see this screen.

This is just a survey screen, you can choose wether to fill it in or not. Press Finish to continue. The next screen you will see is below.

This is the final screen and you can choose wether to turn on Zone Alarm security straight away or load it some other time.
