Hello,
Today I went ahead and upgraded my Zone Alarm firewall from the free version to the Zone Alarm Suite version. During the installation it recommended that I remove any other anti-virus software. I went ahead and removed Avast which I had been previously using to scan my pc.
However, I also have been scanning my pc with:
- Adaware AE 8.0
- Spybot S&D
My question is do you recommend that I remove these programs as well in order for there not to be any synergistic problems with the new Zone Alarm upgrade?
Or should I continue using these programs as well?
I also experienced a problem when I ran my first virus and spyware scan with Zone Alarm Suite. The virus scan worked but when it started the spyware scan it just stood idle on a file forever and the spyware scan never progressed from there. I then went ahead and cancelled the spyware scan with no results from either scan being posted. I was wondering if this had anything to do with me having Adaware and Spybot S&D still on my pc.
Any help with this and tips on the new upgrade would be well appreciated.
Thanks
