(TheForceField.Net ) August 12,2008 — Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. announced yesterday that they would give away copies of its ZoneAlarm ForceField security application to the public for one day only on Patch Tuesday, the day Microsoft releases its monthly patches and security updates for Windows.
Beginning August 12 at 9 AM EDT Check Point will make full licensed versions of ZoneAlarm ForceField available for download on its web site. The promotion will last for a 24 hour period to conclude at 9 AM EDT Wednesday August 13.
In a press release yesterday Laura Yecies, vice president and general manager for Check Point’s ZoneAlarm consumer division explained the promotion. “We wanted to emphasize the importance of putting a series of safety practices into place when consumers surf the Web,” Yecies said. “Keeping patches up-to-date is vital for maintaining optimal Web security—but is not enough—which is why employing a browser security solution such as ZoneAlarm ForceField is critical.”
The free promotion will include a full license for one year and is limited to one download per user. The application is available at www.zonealarm.com/patchtuesday .
