Check Point heeft in de vorm van versie 7.1.248.000 een nieuwe versie van zijn gratis firewallprogramma Zonealarm uitgebracht. Waar het alles-in-één pakket Zonealarm Internet Security Suite al langer voor Windows Vista geschikt was, is dat voor Zonealarm Free pas kort het geval. Ook nieuw is dat het programma nu in een 205KB grote webinstaller wordt aangeboden. Hieronder is het het volledige changelog van deze release te vinden:
