Recent attacks emphasize the need for robust computer security to protect personal systems and identities. The recent computer virus known as the “Conficker worm” is estimated to have infected 10 million computers worldwide. Freeware and standalone anti-virus products can not effectively protect against the 1000s of variants of this and other viruses. The multiple security layers included in the ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite provide critical protection against Conficker and other types of computer attacks. It includes award-winning antivirus and anti-spyware, the world’s #1 firewall, and anti-spam. ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite also features daily credit report monitoring, parental control, and an Identity Protection Center that allows users to conveniently protect their identities and personal information in both the online and offline worlds.

“Because hackers are getting more sophisticated and Internet attacks are on the rise, consumers need an effective security solution, such as ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite, that can fight the latest, most advanced computer and Web attacks,” said Juliette Sultan, head of global marketing for Check Point. “This offer helps us make our security suite widely available to consumers and enables Check Point to sponsor technology education through TechSoup Learning Center.”

The trusted ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite is an integrated product that includes a multitude of security essentials vital to fending off online attacks.
