ZoneAlarm Antivirus by Zone Labs Wins 2005 World Class Award from PC World

San Francisco, CA - June 8, 2005 - Zone Labs®, a Check Point® company (NASDAQ: CHKP), today announced that ZoneAlarm® Antivirus was honored by PC World with the 2005 World Class Award for the Antivirus and Firewall Software category last week. The World Class Award winners were announced in the July 2005 issue of PC World (online now and available on newsstands June 14).

Referred to by reviewers as a "premier firewall," ZoneAlarm Antivirus integrates Zone Labs' award-winning firewall technology with superior antivirus technology from Computer Associates. The combined security package, popular among the technically savvy but easy to use for everyday consumers, provides advanced protection to help repel hacker attacks as well as maintain a virus-free personal computer. ZoneAlarm Antivirus is an ideal complement to free security products built into consumer operating systems or Internet services.

"Threats on the Internet are evolving rapidly, yet many consumers still believe they won't be targeted. What they don't realize is viruses typically do not have an actual target in mind; they simply seek to exploit weaknesses in any system they happen to come across," said Gregor Freund, chief technology officer of Check Point Software Technologies and founder of Zone Labs. "And these threats, once released onto the Internet, propagate more rapidly than people imagine, sometimes worldwide within hours. ZoneAlarm Antivirus offers a dynamic, auto-updating security solution that keeps consumers as safe as possible on the Internet. We are honored that our efforts have been recognized by a leading publication such as PC World, and we believe this award validates ZoneAlarm Antivirus as one of the leading antivirus solutions for consumers today."

Celebrating its 23rd year, the respected World Class Awards honor products that meld practical features with innovation and reflect the rapidly changing technology mareketplace. To select the winners, PC World's editors examined hundreds of products, including those that have appeared in the magazine over the past 12 months. The winning products were selected for their exemplary design and usability, feature, performance, innovation, and price.

"The ultimate buyer's guide, World Class Awards set the standard for excellence in the high-tech and consumer electronics industries," stated Harry McCracken, editor in chief of PC World. "From desktop publishers to travel routers to satellite radio and video instant messenger services, the editors reward the finest products and most outstanding performers in this annual award program. Congratulations to ZoneAlarm Antivirus."
