PC Magazine Chooses ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.0 For Its Robust and Integrated Approach In Protecting Consumer's Entire PC From Hackers, Spyware, and Other Internet Threats Zone Labs(R), a Check Point Software Technologies(R) company (Nasdaq:CHKP), today announced that ZoneAlarm(R) Internet Security Suite 6.0 has been awarded the prestigious PC Magazine Best of the Year 2005 Award in the security suite category. The ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite was given four and one half out of five stars -- the highest rating in this category -- for its flexible program control, new OSFirewall, excellent spyware blocking and effective antispam and antivirus technology. PC Magazine editors focused on ZoneAlarm's new anti-spyware technology, Malicious Program Kill Control and Triple Defense Firewall Protection. Editors praised the solution's ability to: -- Block hackers from gaining access to a computer -- Automatically make a computer invisible to anyone on the Internet -- Prevent spyware from sending personal information across the Internet -- Protect consumers' programs and operating systems from malware "Just when we thought ZoneAlarm's firewall had reached its peak, Zone Labs has found a way to make it even better, increasing its power against spyware and leak-test malware techniques," said Neil J. Rubenking, lead analyst at PC Magazine. "The combination of kernel-level firewall techniques and signature-based spyware recognition already offers unusually powerful spyware blocking and decent removal." Editors found the suite's integrated anti-spyware and anti-virus technology to be top notch, due to its ability to automatically remove the most dangerous and debilitating spyware and viruses from a computer. In addition, the vanguard OSFirewall, which uses behavior-based analysis to detect and block zero-hour viruses and spyware, protect a computer against emerging threats proved to be invaluable in defending consumers against the unknown. "This award, especially from a noteworthy publication like PC Magazine, is a testament to all of our employees who work tirelessly to innovate new technologies in order to protect our customers in this current threat environment," said Laura Yecies, general manager of Zone Labs and vice president at Check Point. "We are seeing an increase in the amount of attacks, and a new level of sophistication in the types of attacks that consumers are facing. Over 80 percent of the public does not trust their experience online due to existing and potential threats. Our goal is to make sure that consumers are fully protected around the clock by developing powerful solutions and providing a safe Internet experience."
