yea, the problem is, Zone Alarm is able to protect your computer more that McAfee... that is what you have to think about, not that it has indefinately updates... With Zone Alarm you can get more updates for $20 a year. $40 for ZoneAlarm and you get 1 year free upgrades... then $20 a year after that for the upgrades. I think that it is worth it for what you do get!
