Hi,
I really like the new look to avast free anti-virus
Before the update I was running Avast 8 free anti-virus with no problems
Since the update I have had to remove zone-alarm free firewall as I could not get avast & zone-alarm to load
And show the icons on the tray -
After a PC reset to an earlier time - and uni-stalled zone-alarm firewall
Then a re-install of avast 2014 - the avast 2014 runs and works perfectly -
But I cant seem to get zone-alarm free firewall to work with avast 2014 free anti-virus
Is avast 2014 free anti-virus not compatible with zone-alarm free firewall?
Thanks - Steve
Same problem here. I have over 224 office systems of various configurations around the campus where I work with this compatibility issue. Getting Avast and Zone Alarm to consider there is a compatibility issue is like having Apple help Microsoft. I've spent over 40 hours with customer service from both companies and all I get is they don't have a problem. I'm not trying find if they have a problem, I'm trying to let them know I have a problem. I've sent system specs, even offered to send in via Registered Air a common system for them to experience the problem.
Basically, all the systems worked well with Avast 8 latest version and latest version of Zone Alarm. After trying to upgrade to Avast 9, an error occurred claiming Avast needs to restart to continue the upgrade. After the restart, the error was there again and prompted for another restart. After a day of restarts, yes same error. Uninstalling didn't work as the OS couldn't find the avast. Only work around was removing Zone Alarm, then restart and pop there's Avast 9. Then uninstall Avast 9, re-install Avast 8 and put Zone Alarm back on. Then both worked. Doing this for 224 systems wasn't good. Especially when I just recommended last week for Queens University to consider a site License for 32K systems for Avast Enterprise. I need this problem to be replicated and fixed please.
