Zone Labs Wins Prestigious CNet Editors' Choice Award

ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite named best desktop security value for its firewall, anti-spyware , antivirus, and antispam features

San Francisco, CA - August 16, 2005 - Zone Labs®, a Check Point® company (NASDAQ: CHKP), today announced that it received a CNET Editors' Choice award for its new ZoneAlarm® Internet Security Suite 6.0, the most effective multi-layered protection against spyware, malware, viruses and other insidious Internet security threats. The coveted CNET Editors' Choice award recognizes outstanding computing and electronics products that CNET Editors have determined represent the highest quality, design, and service to users, and its logo is a hallmark of good product design, performance, and quality.

CNET Editors' Choice winners are recognized as top products in their respective technology categories, and contribute to the standard by which all future products are judged. A key selection requirement is the difference it makes in the lives of its users, whether through innovative features, exceptional value for the price, remarkable ease of use, or a demonstrable boost to users' productivity.

ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.0 offers a unique new behavior-based strategy to block spyware and malware from ever gaining control of a PC. Rather than intermittently scanning for spyware infections after the damage has been done, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.0 utilizes a new OSFirewall™, an advanced defense mechanism that guards the health of a PC at its core. This kernel-level firewall monitors suspicious activity affecting the operating system, programs and files, and disables destructive programs. According to CNET, "No other desktop firewall can claim that."

To complement the prevention technology, ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.0 also employs a new intelligent anti-spyware removal solution as well as DefenseNet™, a zero-hour system leveraging the community of millions of ZoneAlarm users to proactively protect against emerging attacks. Overall, CNET applauds ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 6.0 for being the, "best desktop security value on the market today."

"We are very excited about this honor from CNET, as their Editors' Choice award has become a hallmark of technology quality and innovation, and its logo a symbol consumers know and trust," said Gregor Freund, chief technology officer at Check Point Software and founder of Zone Labs. "We believe the ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite offers consumers the most comprehensive advanced protection from cybercriminals available today, a full generation ahead of our competition. We are very proud that CNET has recognized us for our dedication and commitment to producing the highest quality solutions for consumers."
