Zone Labs was purchased by the Israeli firm Checkpoint Software in
December 2003, and the Israeli's immediately revamped Zone Alarm's
True Vector Engine. Now there are few knowledgeable software security
experts who trust that any new Zone Alarm products after this buy out
actually protect users from spying by U.S. and Israeli governments.

Which is not to say that the NSA or Mossad couldn't do what they like, but I
don't wear a tinfoil hat. :-)

Do you actually believe ZoneAlarm could keep the CIA out before?
