Economic meltdown does have its downsides, but here’s one plus: massive discounts by companies hoping to attract a little attention in dire times. Check Point, the company behind the ZoneAlarm line of security software, is planning a one-day sale on its ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite. The firewall/antivirus/antispyware package, which normally sells for $49.95, will sell for $9.95–but only for 24 hours starting next Tuesday, April 14th, at 6am PT. Check Point says it’ll donate 50% of profits to tech nonprofit TechSoup, and that the whole stunt is timed to tie in with Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday.

If you’ve got one or more Windows PCs and aren’t running current security software, it’s a deal.
