ZoneAlarm 2009 Pro is Free for today only!!!

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.

Hmmm... you might want to read some of the comments on that page before you download this....

.. and some of the guys are saying that the pro version does NOT include anti-virus.

/me goes to check.

Hmmm, ja.. that lifehacker article was a little bit overzealous...

The normal price of ZoneAlarm Pro is $20 not $40... and it does NOT include anti-virus... only anti-spyware.

We've used Z/A (free) for years with no hassles. What happens with this "free" Pro version when new updates and releases come out? Will the licence still be valid and free in 12 months?
