Defamatory and abusive practices from zone alarm
hello.
I created in August 2009 a new domain name for my3 years old website.
when visiting it, i was stunned to find a bright yellow banner warning visitors that this site is unsafe: 'THIS WEBSITE IS SUSPICIOUS, LEAVE NOW, UNLESS YOU KNOW THIS SITE IS SAFE THEN RIGHT UNDERNEATH A LINK :
GET IMMUNITY FROM MALICIOUS WEBSITE. CLICK HERE>


and this direct my potential customers to zone alarm pro selling his stuff !!!
people getting this warning have registered through checkpoint.com a web security site affiliated with zone alarm Pro thatt was freely distributed a month ago.

I contacted zone alarm customer service they could not say nothing about this and told me to contact technicians. I did and was told that is banner appears for all and every new website for 3 months after that is is removed.
the argument is: most malicious website are new websites

so they put any NEW website i n the same package and defamatory statement ans chase all my customers away. no wonder people came to my index page and do not enter!!!

Iask them what happen after 3 months and I really am a malicious website.
response: then we will detect you are malicious and post it .

I think this rather abusive. The reason not to detect a REALLY malicious website right away is, they get free advertising for 3 months on ALL new websites on the owner expenses. meanwhile honest people loose business !!!

my website is safe www.clcadventurevacation.com. proof is, it points to the same pages as my older domain www.cavelakescanyon.com that is NOT flagged by Checkpoint because is 4 years old.
so the website is SAFE and should be checked as such instead of using the loosy pretext it is less than 3 months old.

owner is looking for selling this property and may have lost potential buyers because of this.

Is there anyone who could help me on legal matter or how to contact someone with this issue?
