Check Point ZoneAlarm Pro protects PCs at the operating system level which, is important to ensuring greater security against malicious software such as worms, viruses, spyware, Trojan Horses, rootkits, botnets, and more, all intentionally-designed to corrupt the OS. As consumers live more and more online, without a firewall in place, they can become easy prey for hackers infiltrating their PCs and capturing or compromising their personal data and identity.

“Although many consumers may be familiar with a firewall conceptually, most are not proactively implementing firewall protection to insure their safety and security on their personal computers,” said Laura Yecies, vice president and general manager for Check Point’s ZoneAlarm consumer division. “By offering Check Point ZoneAlarm Pro free for 24 hours, we are allowing consumers to witness first hand the value and improved protection that comes from our powerful yet easy-to-use firewall. It includes key online and offline identity theft protection and anti-spyware that aggressively blocks and removes malware.”

The Check Point ZoneAlarm Pro promotion begins at 6 a.m. PST on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2008 and ends 6 a.m. PST on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2008. The offer, which represents a $40 value, includes a full year license for one PC, and is limited to only one download per customer.
