There are only to reasons to pick ZoneAlarm over BlackIce.
1. Its free!
2. It is so easy to set it up a Monkey could do it.
What more do you need than that. Really it is simple to use and really fast
to set up maybe 10 minutes start to finish, if your slow. It does do a pretty
decent job. It also does not seem to add enough overhead to notice. I can
host a game of 8 people and still run my zonealarm without any lags.
Black Ice may be more secure that I haven't seen proof of but it did cause
me lag time so I know it added alot more overhead. Other than that not a
darn bit of difference.
