ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite Wins Editors' Choice and Receives Highest Rating in its Class for Powerful Security Against Online Threats

San Francisco, CA - March 1, 2005 - Zone Labs®, a Check Point® company (NASDAQ: CHKP), today announced PC Magazine awarded ZoneAlarm® Internet Security Suite 5.5 the coveted Editors' Choice distinction in the security suite category. For the first time, PC Magazine editors noted, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite "stands alone" as the Editors' Choice. In the February 22 print edition focused on security, PC Magazine editors gave ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite four and one-half out of five stars, the highest rating in this category, for its powerful security against a myriad of Internet-borne threats, including spam e-mails, phisher schemes, Trojan programs and worms.

In the product review, editors praised ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite's ease-of-use and hardened security. "ZoneAlarm's firewall sets the standard that others match, and this version of the suite adds a highly accurate spam filter. The antivirus is easy to configure and certified independently for virus detection. Additional features like IM security, privacy protection and parental control make ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 5.5 an excellent choice for complete security," they said.

The editors further commended ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite for its ease-of-use, noting that its Automatic Program Control feature helps minimize confusing pop-up messages by automatically granting or denying Internet access to known programs based on a database of over 15,000 distinct files.
