Yes, Ken your assumption was right.

Ken, the OP stated the 'free' version therefore, as you rightly assessed,
he
would be talking about the firewall.



Thanks, John. So my assumption was right, even though I didn't notice
the word "free."

Which program is better suited for Vista, free ZoneAlarm or AVG, or
is
there
a better one yet?


ZoneAlarm is a personal firewall, and AVG is an Anti-virus. They do
different things, so can't be directly compared.

Personally, I wouldn't use either of them. I recommend the built-in
Vista firewall rather than any third-party one like ZoneAlarm. And
for
an anti-virus, I recommend NOD32 if you willing to spend the price.
If
not, and you want a free anti-virus, I recommend either Avast or
Avira.

And over and above an anti-virus and firewall, you also need two or
more anti-spyware programs. I recommend that you install
MalwareBytes
and at least one other from the following list:

SuperAntispyware
Spyware Blaster
Spybot Search and Destroy
Adaware.



ZoneAlarm has an Anti-Virus with Firewall included.


Yes, but when someone uses the name "ZoneAlarm" without specifying its
anti-virus product, they almost always mean the firewall product, and
that's what I assume the OP meant.


They are also in
Beta for a 64 bit version.
