Just a side note. "prevent" is a pretty strong word when it comes to hackers. I would use deter them, if you really have something they want, they will find a way in. I have not played with zone alarm all that much, (even though I have it) but I think you can tell how many times the ports on your pc have been probed.

Once you download a firewall, test it. I purchased Norton's and had it tested some time after I installed it and found several holes. I installed ZoneAlarm's protection and it was impressive. Test it at Steve Gibson's research site at:
Gibson Research Corporation
Do a test before and after for curiosity. This is a secure site.
