It doesn't have OSfirewall which monitors suspicious activity of applications.And the firewall is also a basic one and allows trusted applications in its list(created by zonelabs) to connect to net.My PC connected to Microsoft server without my notice(my bad I enabled automatic updates but it should have at least informed me ).

That happens if you enable auto learn feature. Instead of using the zone alarm alarm suit first and then shift to basic firewall version, take only firewall version. It will ask permission for each and every connection.

Firewalls you might not need but your computer will need communication indirectly & can be compromised.
