Get ZoneAlarm Pro for Free on Tuesday
November 17, 2008
By Mark Hachman

On Tuesday, Nov. 18, Check Point Software will offer the ZoneAlarm Pro software package for free for 24 hours, in celebration of Check Point's 15th anniversary, a company spokeswoman said Friday.

ZoneAlarm Pro, which contains a firewall, antispyware, and ID protection service (including credit monitoring) normally costs $39.95. The download location for the free ZoneAlarm Pro package will go live at 6 AM PDT on Tuesday morning.

The free offer includes a one year's subscription. Check Point charges the price of the software ($39.95) for a year's subscription.

"This is in celebration of Check Point celebrating its 15th anniversary when it created Firewall-1 for the enterprise," the Check Point representative said.

In honor of the birthday celebration, customers will be able to access additional details at Check Point's Innovation Store, including a 50-percent deal on the Aerovation Checkpoint Friendly laptop bag.

Editor's Note: Check Point says the time the URL will go live is 6 AM PDT.

Last time I used ZAP it cut my download speed more than half. I went from 20mb/s to about 7mb/s.

zone alarm does murder traffic....

Tisti · Nov 18, 2008, 02:57 PM

Its like the berlin wall... Well, has the same % efficiency for killing traffic

squid · Nov 18, 2008, 09:33 PM

yeah... i don't think i'll bother

Better freebies out there that are not so intrusive.

But thx for the heads up.

Even beloved AVG has a dealie (disable it) called link scanner. You surf to some site and it checks with everybody and their brother to see if its okay. A real buzz kill as far as surfing speed goes.

Too much babysitting right there.

Since we're in the topic of FW, any freeware FW for Vista 64 bit?

ViCyniC · Nov 18, 2008, 10:47 PM

I don't think I've ever used a software firewall, not even the built-in Windows one. I use the router's NAT.

Dave · Nov 18, 2008, 10:48 PM

lol

so apparently this software is not 64bit compatible.
