Today’s article is posted slightly later than the normal time that I post because I was waiting for an offer to go live. Probably you’re already aware of this news since it has been posted at nearly every popular technology blog site but if you are not aware of it, CheckPoint Software is giving away free ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 genuine license key valid for a year to everyone. This offer is open to everyone for 24 hours starting from NOW.

The license giveaway is in celebration of Check Point celebrating its 15th anniversary when it created Firewall-1 for the enterprise. Other than giving away free licenses for ZoneAlarm Pro 2009, you can get a 50-percent deal on the Aerovation Checkpoint Friendly laptop bag.

According to MatouSec’s latest firewall challenge, ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 scored pretty well and managed to get the 9th place out of 36 firewalls that’s being tested. ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 passes all levels and got a very good protection level. If you’ve been using the free version of basic ZoneAlarm Firewall or interested in trying it out, here is your chance to get a free license for Zone Alarm Pro 2009 that normally cost $39.99!


ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 includes five interlocking security services that deliver easy-to-use, comprehensive protection. Unlike any other security utility, ZoneAlarm Pro incorporates a firewall, an Privacy Lock, Program Control, dynamically assigned Security Levels and Zones. Combined, these elements yield the strongest security possible.

Then download the latest ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 and install. After finished installing, enter the ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 license key.

I don’t have much experience with ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 but I’ve installed on my desktop computer to test it out. After installation, ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 spawns 2 new processes. vsmon.exe will take up about 20MB of memory and zlclient.exe takes up about 2MB. However, when you run a spyware scan on your hard drives, vsmon.exe process’ memory usage immediately increased up to 130MB! When finished scanning, the memory usage dropped to 30MB. So if you already have an antivirus software + ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 installed on XP, I’d advice you to have at least 1GB of physical RAM on your computer. For Vista, 2GB is the best. Well most of the modern computer nowadays comes with 2GB of RAM already.

Although ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 only has firewall and spyware protection, but it managed to detect a suspicious behavior when I tried infecting my computer with an undetectable private trojan.

I found a keygenerator for ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 by Team SnD ZoneAlarm.Pro.8.0.WinAll.Incl.keygen-SND which generates pirated license keys. Basically the keys generated by the keygen is to extend the trial period to 15825 days. That is nearly 43 years! Everything works the same except you’ll get a popup nag screen thanking you for evaluating ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 whenever the computer starts up.

ZoneAlarm’s product giveaway has always been very successful (Remember the ZoneAlarm ForceField giveaway?) because there’s always someone contacting the tech bloggers to inform about the giveaway. I was notified by “George” 3 days ago and Martin from Ghacks too was informed by the same person. I bet George must be somehow affiliated with ZoneAlarm. Whether you use ZoneAlarm Pro 2009 or not, go ahead and grab your free license key before this offer expires in 24 hours. You may never know you or your friend or family members might need it someday…
