no, not necessarly ....... :-\As far I could see, there is not a definitive answer of that problems.
there may be problems of reboot or bsod between webshield and za 6 under xp.
cf : http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=16494.0
Or maybe just installing older version of ZA(which one ??? ) will do the trick till there the problem is solvedIt could be, but I see no reason to not test the last one before.
Maybe I'll try it and if something goes wrong I'll install Sygate. Or what about kaspersky anti-hackerI never used or tested Kaspersky. It's a good company and their products are strong and stable.
i use ZA 6.0.667.000 and avast with no problemsSame here,none whatsoever.

if you use Kerio personal firewall you may want to change because it is being discontinued.Not really, it'll still work as well as it does now. There just won't be any updates, of coarse I would suggest it not be bought.
Thank you friends!I will try it today and see what will happen ;)
Hope it's okay.Few days ago I installed ZA latest version with avast already installed.Think everything is OK.Only Web shield isn't working.Don't know why.Uninstalling ZA doesn't bring web shield back on.But on this PC everything will be fine I guess.
My strategy:
1.Install avast!
2.Install all my programs.
3.Install all windows updates.
4.Install ZA latest version.If there are any problems I will uninstall ZA and install 60631...

Celeron 633Mhz;256Mb RAM;40Gb HDD;Windows XP Pro SP2;Avast4.6;Ad-aware;Mozilla firefox;
My strategy will be:
0. Install Windows SP2 ;D
1. Install avast!
2. Install Zone Alarm.
3. Install all Windows Updates.
4. Install programs.
1.) Install ZA latest version
2.) install avast!
3.) then install all Windows updates...
4.) and then install your programs...
Trust me Neron, install Firewall first... that's the first line of defense, and of course immediatelly install antivirus program. ;)Trust me Noron ;D, install the antivirus first... that will bring less incompatibility problems, of course, immediatelly install firewall program ;)
...
...
And the pc will be protected even without ZA installed because of avast network shield and mainly because of windows firewall.
Neron, as far I've tested, not a problem with avast and ZA.He says he tested it this way and no problems.Very strange situation.Maybe the both ways there will be no problems but....just wanted to be sure.
Maybe installing avast! before, booting... then ZA (I've installed with avast! enabled but some others said they disabled avast to install ZA).
Sygate and Outpost will be options. But, I won't give up on ZA that quick
I wanted to install ZA because i think it;s the easiest firewall to configure.Sygate was another alternative but now it is part of symantec.Don't know what to say ::) .Kerio is very good but it's using mainly rules and i want application related firewall.Hard to configure.
Install your firewall by your choice, it doesn't have to be ZA. You chose whatever suits you best. It will take you just few minutes. Then install avast! and that's it... very simple. Do not visit any other web sites or browse the internet at all until you are 100% protected, until those essential programs are up and running... ;)
Cheers !
Well I am telling you do some searching on this matter and you'll see. Windows firewall is protection you just a half way. It has no outbound protection, just inbound. If any program is trying to send some information outside your computer it will send them without even asking you, and you will not be aware of any single thing that left your PC ;)Ok thank you!Maybe you strategy(or even the both) are ok.About windows firewall-yes I do know it is protecting only the inbound traffic.But that's ok if you don't have Trojan horse virus or worm already installed.
I'm telling you, and you trust whoever you want. First of all, he installed it his way and he had no problems. That's fine and I do not wanna argue on this... I have some more important things to finish right now...
Second, I installed it the way I told you, and I didn't do that just on my PC, but on more than 100 PCs during the last year. No one ever complained, so I guess they are happy campers... ;)
Again, you do whatever you want, but as I see, you asked, so we are just trying to help you... your pc, your choice...
The fact that Sygate is a part of the Symantec doesn't tell anything at all. Symantec is a great company and we all just have ugly experiences because of the Norton. So we all tend to speak bad things about Symantec without really having a good reason. Norton is bad product, Symantec is not that bad company.Think you are right
I mean, in my work as a computer technician, there is no better tool for backing up your system's partitions, or cloning HD, than NORTON Ghost. There are many, but none of them works as good as Ghost. Also, another example. There is pcAnywhere, program for remote connections. You can fix someone else's PC even if he lives in Australia, of course if it's not some kind of hardware related malfunction... I do that every second day with my father's PC in Croatia. I connect from Canada and in just few seconds I am inside his computer like it's right is in front of me...
Cheers !
Think you are right
I'm using vnc for this.Guess pcAnywhere is better.I don't know
If ZA fails sygate is alternative

Well, I'm not too interested in a lot of rumors posted at forums. I'd prefer to hear it from the horses mouth. When I go to www.kerio.com I don't see that at all. If you have a link from a Kerio representative or Technician that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.A healthy dose of scepticism is good when listening to claims about new software products being the best thing since sliced bread, but ignoring the words of the Kerio Technical Support Manager written in the kerio forums.
Well, I'm not too interested in a lot of rumors posted at forums.Well, like David said, they're more than rumors... Not all the forums are bla-bla-bla. If you don't want to believe in any of them, believe in avast! forums 8)
When you install the most recent version of ZoneAlarm firewall, avast! will pop up a message that says it has detected incompatible software.In fact, only ZA Pro and specifically the privacy features have incompatibility with avast.
