REDWOOD CITY, CA, Oct 21, 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 launched the Microsoft Windows 7 version of ZoneAlarm(R) Extreme Security, the latest version of the company's comprehensive consumer security suite. The ideal companion to the highly anticipated Windows 7 operating system offers robust security technologies to address multiple PC threats, from browser exploits to password theft. ZoneAlarm Extreme Security also includes the industry's first and only full hard drive encryption solution in a consumer security suite. This Check Point-unique innovation automatically encrypts all the hard drive content to protect personal and irreplaceable data in the event of laptop loss or theft. Also today, Check Point released Windows 7 versions for its complete line-up of ZoneAlarm products.

"The majority of Internet threats today cannot be addressed solely by Windows 7 built-in anti-virus because attacks are coming from many different vectors, including browser exploits, firewall attacks, and phishing attempts," said Bari Abdul, vice president of consumer sales. "ZoneAlarm delivers comprehensive protection by bringing the world's number one firewall, identity theft services and Internet and Web innovations to the Windows 7 operating system, delivering advanced security for Windows 7 users."

Designed to complement Microsoft Windows 7 operating system, ZoneAlarm Extreme Security includes:

--  Advanced Download Protection - Stops the latest viruses delivered
online by running and analyzing downloads in a protected virtual
environment before installation
--  Hard Drive Encryption - Enterprise-proven encryption option
automatically encrypts personal and system data for identify theft
protection
--  Password Recovery Assistance - Only ZoneAlarm provides users with
included phone assistance for password and media recovery 24 hours, 7 days
a week
--  Identity Protection Services - Credit Bureau Monitoring provides fraud
alerts, plus Victim Recovery Services to help recover quickly from identify
theft
--  Operating System Firewall - New enhancements help identify and stop
sophisticated online attacks that can bypass traditional anti-virus and
security suites
--  Virtual Browsing - Allows users to surf the Web with full protection
against malicious software such as drive-by downloads or browser exploits.
To date, this technology has stopped 100% of known browser and plug-in
exploits.
--  Unified Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware Engine - Performs anti-virus scans
approximately 85% faster than previous versions
--  A full complement of additional security layers and tools like
anti-spam, online backup and PC Tune-up

In conjunction with Windows 7 availability, Check Point ZoneAlarm is introducing a Windows 7 Security information portal designed to educate consumers on the security risks of Windows 7 and how they can be addressed.
