Sometimes it pays to read something in full before trying to use it to prove a point. ;D
Her is a quote directly from the article:

The warning appeared whether or not users were infected with any malware. No attempt was made to check whether users had any anti-virus software installed, [b]a feature not bundled with free versions[/b] of the personal firewall.

Even if the scare tactic where included, which it is not, it doesn’t alter ZA’s ability to protect your system.
