[Compatibility Problem] avast! with Kaspersky Anti-Hacker

[StyleWarz]

I installed avast! Professional on my main machine now, and got a little unamused surprised... I use my favorite firewall on this machine wich is Kaspersky Anti-Hacker v1.7, but avast! thinks it's Kaspersky Anti-Virus running (see screenshot)...

This is a real pitty, is there a work-around or will you guys fix this problem???

Thanks in advance,

(It's a fresh Windows XP SP2 US installation...)

You want me to remove Anti-Hacker? Nah, since I paid for it i'm not going to do that

You can test if avast will work with an 'incompatible' application...
You'll see. I never used Kaspersky so, I'm not sure.
Probably, you'll have troubles... So, avast! won't be for you...  :'(

Well I already tested out avast! alot, and bought a Professional key, but the supid me forgot to test it in combination with Anti-Hacker...
Anyway I really hope Awil will solve this problem, since it's not so good products get regonised wrong... Let's see what they say about this

Did you try to delete the KLIF.sys file like you've posted in other thread?

Isn't 'Kaspersky Anti-Hacker' a firewall?, rather then an AV.

Thanks for all your reactions... I discussed this issue with Vlk, and it seems it can't be fixed, Anti-Hacker uses a driver to function with the same name as the AV driver... Too bad, I've to find a other firewall

Halio styleWarz,

Cannot you try to rename the driver. How does compatibility then work out. Sometimes it is just a question of renaming the stuff. Else try Resource Hacker on this one proggie, you can even change it to Russian parameters. Never give up...that is the way of "serdecni ludzi ". Keep trying,

greetz,
