Anti Virus which will work with Zone Alarm?

Postby Kevin Mc » Mon Oct 13, 2008 9:26 pm

I had AVG, but the licence has just expired. I was going to renew, but for the AV stuff only, it said that support would finish at the end of the year. They were pushing their full package which includes a Firewall, though I've not long paid for an extension for ZA.

Are there any other recommended Anti Virus packages that work with ZA?

I looked at Kapersky, though that doesn't work with ZA.

I know ZA has a freebie AV built in, though I don't entirely trust that. I'd get an AV update from AVG daily, though have had no updates for ZA for over a week now.

I just want an effective Anti Virus package that will work alongside with ZA and not trash my computer too much!

Thanks for that, I'll check out Avast.

PS. Please ignore my comment about the Support ending on AVG - turns out it was for other operating systems and not the one I'm running. A severe case of RTFM :oops: :roll: :D

Have a look at Gizmo's website for good free software. It's at http://www.techsupportalert.com/.

By the way, I'm personally not keen on the free version of Zonealarm anymore.

Malky, I know what you mean about the new free Zone Alarm, it's an awful tool. A friend of mine is now sold on this http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ , never thought he'd change from ZA. If ZA tries my patience much more then I shall be switching as well.
Ouch !

I've never really had any problems with ZA, though I do have the full version.

I've installed the demo version of NOD32 for now, and will upgrade to the full version if I'm happy with it.
