ZONE LABS OFFERS 40% OFF ZONEALARM PRO FIREWALL TO CONSUMERS SEEKING REFUGE FROM INDUSTRY CONSOLIDATION

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.December 1, 2005 – Zone Labs®, a Check Point® company (NASDAQ: CHKP), today unveiled an aggressive new promotional offer to help consumers left without proper dynamic Internet security by yesterday's discontinuation of Symantec's Sygate Pro firewall. Users of the Kerio Personal Firewall, which will soon be acquired by Sunbelt Software, are also eligible for the discount.

Effective immediately, Sygate and Kerio users switching to ZoneAlarm Pro will receive a $20 instant rebate, over 40% off the retail price of $49.95.

“A firewall is the most essential, fundamental element of protection against hackers,” said Laura Yecies, general manager of Zone Labs and vice president at Check Point. “Innovation in firewall development is critical, because threats are dynamic and ever-changing. Consumers must seek a solution that is not only vendor-supported but has new features added regularly to protect against novel attack strategies.”

The award-winning ZoneAlarm Pro features the recently released vanguard OSFirewall, a new type of firewall that proactively prevents spyware, rootkits and other malware from ever gaining control of a PC. Available in all ZoneAlarm premium products, the OSFirewall monitors behavior between applications and the operating system in order to recognize suspicious actions and block malware from wreaking havoc.

“Attacks are no longer created to gain news headlines,” said Yecies. “Hackers operate quietly to steal personal information and control of a consumer's PC for financial gain – and preventative firewall technologies are the most effective protection.”

Yecies continued, “Many consumers today remain reliant on pure signature-based antivirus and antispyware scanning products for primary protection, but that tactic is no longer sufficient in the current threat environment. Catching malicious software and removing it after the fact defeats the purpose of security. Once your personal information is compromised, a scanner can't magically get it back. That's why innovation is so important in the firewall market. It is the only technology capable of protecting you before the damage is done, and when it comes to security, Check Point simply protects and manages better than anyone.”

Zone Labs also today reaffirmed its commitment to offering the free basic ZoneAlarm firewall.

Pricing: Sygate and Kerio users may access the $29.95 special promotional offer for ZoneAlarm Pro at www.zonelabs.com.
