ZoneAlarm Suite is handling good with the all kind of unwanted attacks from other users. I have about 10-20 stopped intrusions a day according to ZA statistics. I am satisfied with it and I recommend it for all home users who doesn’t need to know pretty much about internet security. Don’t look at the price, it can save you a lot more than you purchased.
Just one thing to add: ZA is so powerful that when I try to chat on live.pirillo.com it always block me :) It happens even when I put all those necessery internet addresses into “Trusted Zone”. Anybody know how to avoid this?
