Check Point to Offer ZoneAlarm Pro 2010 Free to Consumers on Patch Tuesday

REDWOOD CITY, CA, Oct 12, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
CHKP | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Check Point(R) Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), the
worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced that the
company will offer a free full version of ZoneAlarm(R) Pro 2010 on
Tuesday, October 13, starting at 6 a.m. PDT. to help consumers stay
safe online. The promotion will last for 24 hours, running
concurrently with Microsoft's Patch Tuesday -- the day Microsoft
releases its latest browser and operating system patches for Windows
PCs. To take advantage of the award-winning protection of Check
Point's ZoneAlarm Pro, consumers can click on
www.zonealarm.com/only24hours.

ZoneAlarm Pro 2010 combines the world's number one firewall with an
OSFirewall that monitors behavior within the operating system (OS) to
stop malicious attacks that are intentionally designed to corrupt the
OS. Together, these robust defenses block attacks that anti-virus
alone misses, making it the perfect add-on to the anti-virus
protection consumers may already have. Check Point ZoneAlarm Pro
includes, for no additional charge, Identity Protection Services with
daily credit report monitoring, and Victim Recovery Services that
help consumers recover quickly from identity theft.

"Online threats continue to expand dramatically, doubling in number
every few months. Even browsing legitimate Web sites can expose
consumers to hidden threats designed to compromise PCs and steal
personal information," said Bari Abdul, vice president of consumer
sales. "By offering Check Point ZoneAlarm Pro free for 24 hours, we
are making our trusted firewall more widely available to consumers,
helping protect their credit card numbers, social security
information and any personal data against sophisticated threats."

To prevent attacks entering the PC through the web browser, ZoneAlarm
Pro 2010 includes a new Advanced Download Protection technology that
automatically checks and analyzes the programs a user wishes to
download to determine if they are safe or malicious. It also adds
anti-phishing, both signature and heuristic based, to block more
fraudulent sites.

The Check Point ZoneAlarm Pro promotion represents a $40 value and
includes a full year license for up to three PCs. It is limited to
only one download per new customer. To participate in the promotion,
