Operating Systems Support
It is Zone Labs” policy to extend protection to customers of all Microsoft Windows operating systems as long as the following conditions apply:
The operating system itself is still supported by its creating company (Microsoft) with automatic and proactive security updates to protect customers against the latest security vulnerabilities.
The operating system can technically support the Zone Labs software without negatively effecting the users security.
When these above criteria are not met, we will, at the sole discretion of Zone Labs, L.L.C., discontinue support of the operating system. We will make every attempt to give prior notice to customers before discontinuing support for an operating system.
Current Operating System Support Information:
Operating System Zone Labs End–of–Life Status
Windows 98se/ME Support Discontinued
On July 11, 2006, Microsoft will end support for Windows 98, 98SE and Me, which will have the resulting effect of making these operating systems less secure
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx). Windows 98/Me are older operating systems, and therefore inherently more vulnerable to attacks than newer operating systems. Now that Microsoft will no longer provide security updates to this operating system it will become increasingly prone to security vulnerabilities.
Accordingly, Zone Labs will cease to support Windows 98/98SE/Me with the introduction of our version 6.5 ZoneAlarm family of products including ZoneAlarm® Internet Security Suite, ZoneAlarm® Pro, ZoneAlarm® Antivirus, ZoneAlarm® Anti–Spyware, and ZoneAlarm®.
Note about pre–6.5 products:
Pre–6.5 products will continue to run on the Windows 98/98SE/Me operating system. However, there are a few new and advanced protection features in ZoneAlarm products that will not run due to technical limitations of this operating system. Zone Labs strongly recommends upgrading to a supported and current version of the Windows operating system.
Zone Labs may end services to pre–6.5 products at any time.
Windows 2000 Fully supported
All currently shipping ZoneAlarm products will run without limitation on the Windows 2000 operating system.
Windows XP Fully supported.
All currently shipping ZoneAlarm products will run without limitation on the Windows XP operating system.
