Zone Alarm Pro 2009 WAS FREE ON (18/11/2008).

[DeathStrike]

Windows only: The popular Windows firewall application ZoneAlarm Free has a big brother called ZoneAlarm Pro, which boasts a handful of features not available in the free version—including integrated antivirus. Normally $40, ZoneAlarm Pro will be available tomorrow (11/18) for the low, low price of free. ZoneAlarm Free was voted one of the five best Windows firewalls by Lifehacker readers, so if you like what you've seen from that, a free upgrade to the Pro version sounds like a winner. The promotion link below will likely offer an active link to the deal starting 6AM PST tomorrow morning, but we'll post the direct link as soon as it's available.

I think your math is wrong, maybe. Or my info is. I have this time thing on my FireFox that has times from all over the world, and PST is GMT -8, which makes it 02.15AM there right now, so it's still about 4 hours. (16:00)

Remember.. it's only free for 1 year....

HOWEVER.... there are catches!

Although Zone Alarm Pro might in fact be free, keep in mind that you must also renew your Zone Alarm copy every year (or two, depending on how much you are willing to pay).

In short, Check Point is giving us all an extended trial of their software (or a year free) to try out. Which is good! And bad. I think they are betting on getting us customers hooked to their program--- before you know it you'll be heading out to continue renewing your license (besides, you did install it! You reason), and then....
Aha! They got a new customer.

So its like a good sales pitch while giving us poor souls a free year of their expensive software

But, nontheless, its great how Check Point is giving away their product for a year...

True. but if they giving it away free for a year and the version is the 2009 version then i have a 2009 firewall free for a year and therefore will only have to pay in 2010.. by then my 2009 would be outdated anyway.

[Frozenfireside]

Norton does the same and still makes you pay.SOABes.
