From that page, it is clear that Check Point _are_ making AV software
under the name Zone Alarm. However, what Peter meant was that what has
been for many years known as Zone Alarm is a firewall, not AV software.


To clarify, the product I use is currently named
ZoneAlarm Extreme Security. Among its capabilities
are anti-virus/anti-spyware protection and a firewall.

I've been using their product since 2006, when it was
called ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite. Then, it
protected against viruses and spyware with separate
scans, and of course also included a firewall.
