Check Point Launches ZoneAlarm for Windows 7 OS

Singapore, November 25, 2009 - Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: CHKP), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet today announced the launch of Microsoft Windows 7 version of ZoneAlarm® Extreme Security, the latest version of the company's comprehensive consumer security suite in Singapore. It will be available at all Challenger superstores on the 26 November 2009. The ideal companion to the highly anticipated Windows 7 operating system offers robust security technologies to address multiple PC threats, from browser exploits to password theft. ZoneAlarm Extreme Security also includes the industry's first and only full hard drive encryption solution in a consumer security suite. This Check Point-unique innovation automatically encrypts all the hard drive content to protect personal and irreplaceable data in the event of laptop loss or theft. Also today, Check Point released Windows 7 versions for its complete line-up of ZoneAlarm products.

"The majority of Internet threats today cannot be addressed solely by Windows 7 built-in anti-virus because attacks are coming from many different vectors, including browser exploits, firewall attacks, and phishing attempts," said Bari Abdul, vice president of consumer sales.

Unified Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware Engine - Performs anti-virus scans approximately 85% faster than previous versions;

* A full complement of additional security layers and tools like anti-spam, online backup and PC Tune-up.
