MEDIA ALERT: CHECK POINT URGES INTERNET SURFERS TO INSTALL "PATCH TUESDAY" SECURITY PATCHES; OFFERS ZONEALARM ANTI-SPYWARE FREE FOR 24-HOURS

Web surfers at risk without patch updates and proper security; Check Point responds by offering consumers a full year of ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware free for 24-hours

REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. – Nov. 13, 2007 – Check Point^® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, is today advising PC users to immediately update their Microsoft Windows operating systems, Internet Explorer 7 browser and all security programs to thwart new vulnerabilities that may allow a hacker to gain control of a PC. The company also announced a special 24-hour promotion whereby consumers can download ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware, a $29.95 value, for free at www.zonealarm.com/patchtuesday.

For the next 24-hours, Check Point will give away ZoneAlarm Anti-Spyware free of charge. Users must provide a valid email address (one product per email address). The offer expires at 7 a.m. PST on Wednesday, Nov. 14. The company also is currently offering a free download of its brand-new ZoneAlarm ForceField virtual browser, another layer of protection available to consumers.

"Browser and operating system vulnerabilities reinforce the need for consumers to continue proactively managing their online security," said Laura Yecies, vice president and general manager of Check Point's ZoneAlarm consumer division. "In addition to keeping their systems up-to-date with the latest security patches, it also remains crucial for consumer to utilize security software that offers multiple layers of protection against both known and unknown threats."

These vulnerabilities also illustrate the need for any security suite to have a powerful self-protection mechanism, like all ZoneAlarm firewall-based solutions. By passing "leak tests," Internet security suites prove they can withstand a direct attack by hackers trying to hijack the software for nefarious purposes. ZoneAlarm offers some of the industry's strongest leak test protection, meaning that even if a PC is infected, downloaded malware cannot escape the software's defenses.

Check Point offers a variety of products and solutions designed to help provide protection against the myriad of threats to which consumers are exposed every day on the Internet. The premier solution is the ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite, an integrated product that includes a multitude of security essentials vital to fending off online attacks. The recently unveiled ZoneAlarm ForceField, currently in beta, uses virtualization technology to deliver unique and powerful protection against a breadth of attacks including browser exploits, drive-by spyware, phishing attacks, plus keyloggers and spyware already on the PC.
