By who, you? I can expect pink rain for my whole life but that doesn't mean
I'll ever see it.


that organized crime and/or
terrorist organizations would set up or purchase trusted software like
anti-virus or firewalls, for the express purpose of gathering information
about their users.

Paranoid ravings.
 
As if the Mossad needed to rely on ordinary computer

Your a bit naive, there, pardner. Ever hear of the site in remote Australia
run by the CIA? (can't remember the name, somebody help me). Anyway, it's
*there* to circumvent any possible problems with the Constitution. ALL, and
I mean ALL phone calls (even land line), e-mails, web searches, and faxes
are intercepted and recorded by robot. Flagged ones are reviewed by humans
and forwarded for further *investigation*. The Mossad has access along with
a few others (MI 6 and MI 7 in the UK). As spybots get better that *we* use,
they get better at getting around them. I don't know about ZA in particular,
but it sounds pretty much SOP to me. YMMV.

Bull Shit.
 
It has been expected for several years now that organized crime and/or
terrorist organizations would set up or purchase trusted software like

about their users.

Nothing unexpected here.
 
The problem with Zone Alarm is that it was purchased and is now owned
by Check Point, an Israeli outfit suspected of being in the espionage
racket for Mossad.

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd
3A Jabotinsky St., Diamond Tower
Ramat Gan, 52520, Israel

If you want to trust an application with such suspicious ownership that is
supposed to be protecting your computer, and that ALSO stays in contact
with home base at all times, that's your perogative.
Didnt ZA always stay in touch with its servers before the takeover
anyway?.Most world opinion is that The US is also owned by an Israeli
outfit suspected of being in the espionage buisness for mossad too ( not
nessacarilily my opinion) but one nevertheless.
