Zonealarm ran a promotion in November where users could grab a valid one year license for Zonealarm Pro Firewall. Seems that the promotion was a success as the devs are readying their website for this year’s promotion. The rules are simple. You need to visit the Zonealarm website – to be precise the website with the promotion information – on October 13 at 6 a.m. PDT to be able to get the free version of the commercial firewall. A registration is required to receive the registration keys. Download were available for seven days and the server were breaking under the load. It is therefor good to be among the first or wait ten or so hours before attempting to register.


The Check Point ZoneAlarm Pro promotion represents a $40 value and includes a full year license for up to three PCs. It is limited to only one download per new customer.

Features of Zonealarm Pro Firewall 2010:

  • Advanced Download – Analyzes browser downloads in three unique ways before they can infect your PC and warns if they are malicious.
  • Free Credit Bureau – Protects your identity with daily credit report monitoring and provides victim recovery services.
  • Complimentary and Compatible – Works well with other free and paid (non-firewall) security products, such as AVG and Norton Antivirus.
  • Automatic Program Control – See less alerts than with ZoneAlarm Free Firewall.
  • OSFirewall™ – Monitors changes within your computer to spot and stop new attacks that bypass traditional anti-virus protection.
  • Anti-phishing and Site Status – Blocks fraudulent websites including “phishing” sites that trick you into entering personal data.
  • Two-way Firewall – Keeps hackers out by making your PC invisible online and blocking intrusions.

Additional information about the firewall are available at the Zonealarm website.

Update: Users need to add credit card information for “verification” purposes. Check Point is setting the subscription to automatically renew after a year which can be changed in the use profile on the website.

Checkpoint, the developers of Zonealarm Pro, will hand out the software program for free tomorrow. To be precise, it will be free starting at 6 AM PDT on Tuesday 18 and remain so for the next 24 hours.

The url with the free offer will go live at the same time which is why it cannot be posted yet. It is likely that the following page will provide access to the download, it seems to be connected to the offer.

Users who download Zonealarm Pro will receive the software program for free including its one year subscription. The package would normally cost $39.95 for a year. The Zonealarm Pro suite contains a firewall and anti-spyware application.

The website will most likely be overrun tomorrow by thousands of users who want to grab their free copy. The best spots are probably to be among the first or download it in the second half of the day.

ZoneAlarm forcefield puts a protective layer around the browser. In other words it uses software virtualization / sandbox technology that is known from Sandboxie or SafeSpace.

Although the promotion is only running today users who download the virtualization software have seven days to install it and are still eligible to use it freely. The registration key will be send to the email address entered during registration and is good for one year of free updates.

Zonealarm Forcefield is compatible to Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7 as well as Mozilla Firefox 2 and Firefox 3. No Opera support in sight unfortunately though.

ZoneAlarm Forcefield adds a toolbar to the browser which thankfully can be shortened so that the icons only appear in the statubs bar and are thus less obtrusive.

Features:

  • Browser Threat Immunity
  • Keylogger & Screengrabber Jamming
  • Anti-Phishing
  • Spy Site Blocking
  • On-The-Fly Encryption
  • Website Safety Check

Unlike the other two virtualization software programs ZoneAlarm Forcefield virtualises only the browser and not other applications that connect to the Internet.
