ZoneAlarm Free Firewall has just received another update to fix the Heartbleed vulnerability that has made the headlines so many times in the last few weeks.

The application, which continues to support both older and newer versions of Windows, is offered free of charge to those whose computers are powered by Microsoft’s operating system, and promises to block any incoming threats, as well as unauthorized access.

Version 13.1.211.000 comes to improve ZoneAlarm client protection for Heartbleed vulnerability, while also bringing stability and performance enhancements needed to make sure that your computer remains secure.

The freeware version of ZoneAlarm comes with a two-way firewall, a privacy and security toolbar and identity protection, but as compared to the other versions offered by the parent company, it lacks anti-virus and anti-spyware protection, real-time monitoring, browser protection, parental controls, and support.

ZoneAlarm Free Firewall also works on Windows XP SP2 and SP3, while also offering support for the newest versions of Windows released by Microsoft, including Windows 8 and 8.1. Both 32- and 64-bit versions of this operating systems are fully compatible.

Overall, this is one of the updates that should come in handy to many users who are trying to stay secure these days, so download ZoneAlarm Free Firewall 13.1.211.000 right now to see what's new.
