McAFee and Zone Alarm???

Sabi — Thu, 24 Mar 2005 17:41:50 GMT

Hi everyone

I have McAFee, Window Firewall, Ad-Aware SE and AntiVir in my computer :smileyblush:
I want to add a different anti virus for more protection as the two existing ones are not as good as they used to be! (Despite the regular updating)

So I tried to download ZoneAlarm, but I was asked to uninstall McAFee first!!

My question is if I uninstall McAFee firewall after downloading ZoneAlam, can I install it back again? If so, will two software¿s causing conflicts? If they do, then which ¿reliable¿ Antivirus is compatible with McAFee and Windows?

Any advice would be most appreciated.

You must decide you which Firewall do you want. It's no problem to have more as on Virus scanner on the system, but only one of them may a realtime scanner. If the other one a realtime scanner too. then you must deleat on of them from the Autostart.

Uninstall McAfee and install ZoneAlarm, you don't need McAfee afterwards, because ZoneAlarm is better - a good AV program that works alongside is AVG, but really ZoneAlarm Suite is the best, as it has all you need in one neat package.
