Thanks!

 

What is this promo about? Free license?

Firewall Ratings (HIPS Test!!!)

 

God the next person that points that out as a rating I'm going to hunt down. There has been so many threads on this subject. Matousec is NOT a firewall test. It test hips and a sorry excuse for testing hips at that.

 

last year they've had 2 good promotions
one was the firewall full version for free which is very good in deed especially this last updated one is really light in my laptop.
the second was a really cheap SECURITY SUITE 3 license sale for 24 hours . I bought it and still using.
I hope it is the EXTREME for a cheap price as i really liked the ZA soft through this year while i had it despite some problems i had with the update and scanning process through that time.
wait and see what they will bring

 

I do not think they will give away ZoneAlarm free since it is already freeware

Checkpoint provides a wide range of software

I wouldn't mind to get Datalock or Forcefield for free.

Do anyone know what software they will give away?

 

I hope it's ZoneAlarm Pro for free

 

Whats the give away for?

 

I think it will be a 10$ (9.99) offer for the Security suite, like it was last year. I just hope this time they give the Exterme security for that price or something under 20$.

 

.
That brings up a good question which is does anyone properly test personal firewalls and what would that test consist of?

 

Gibson's ShieldsUP! has been around for a long time, and it certainly tests the basics. As maligned as the author is (in some circles), I don't think there is fault to be found with the test itself.

 

It's ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall. Facebook fans can apply today...

Edit:

Confirmed if you're a Facebook fan and apply now you can get the license today. It took about 30 minutes for the email to arrive. the license is good for one year/3 PCs.

 

I already receive my license key.Yes,it's ZA pro license one year for 3 pc.

Btw,anyone knows what happens after the key expires?The software will remain fully functional but no more updates,like OA pro and Outpost pro?

 

Appears there is no need for a fb account!

 

Well, yeah... kinda hard to charge an email address for ZA Pro

 

Here is the link for who wants to get a license.Hope it is allowed...

And yes,nothing to do with Fb.

 

so the proverbial question in these situations needs to be asked once again! Does anyone know if this needs installed and the license activated within this time frame (24/48 hours or whatever)? My gut instinct on this one tells me we have a year to install. Hope I'm correct!

 

it could be valid for a year from the date the licence was received in the email

 

They ask for social security cards and credit card info. No thanks.

 

Well, no... you've misunderstood it. That info is required only for the "Identity Guard" giveaway... (for US residents only). For ZA Pro, you give just name and email.

Well, the Identity Guard thing is a nice WTH though... you protect your identity by giving it out to a third-party? LOLz.

 

It's a trusted third-party.

 

Well... I still feel safer by not giving such info out to anyone unless required? What's the point of this SW kinda avades me?

 

Its like that Life Lock social security identity theft protection. To bad the creator of that had his identity stolen too.
