Windows 2000 Support Discontinued
In 2005, Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows 2000. In 2010, Microsoft will end extended support for Windows 2000, which will make this operating system less secure and increasingly prone to hacking exploits. (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx).
As a result, Check Point will cease to support Windows 2000 with the introduction of our version 8.0 ZoneAlarm family of products including ZoneAlarmŽ Internet Security Suite 2009, ZoneAlarmŽ Pro, ZoneAlarmŽ Antivirus, ZoneAlarmŽ Anti-Spyware, and ZoneAlarmŽ.
Note about pre-8.0 products:
Pre-8.0 products will continue to run on the Windows 2000 operating system and receive signature updates such as virus and spyware signatures. However, there will be new and advanced protection features in post-8.0 ZoneAlarm products that will not be added to pre-8.0 products. ZoneAlarm strongly recommends upgrading to a supported and current version of the Windows operating system. ZoneAlarm may end services to pre-8.0 products at any time.
