| 53133 | 2002-06-08 04:30:00 | Can anyone tell me if you can run Nortons Antivirus with Zone Alarm Pro?? I always seem to get some sort of conflicting message. | Guest (0) | ||
| 53134 | 2002-06-08 05:30:00 | Hi Hank I've been running Norton AV 2001 successfully with ZA 2.6 and ZA 3 without any problems on both Win 98 and Win2K. What versions are you using and what sort of conflict is being recorded? If you want to run NAV auto-update you have to tell ZA to allow both NAV and the Live update Engine to access the Internet.

| 53136 | 2002-06-08 22:26:00 | Apologies in advance if this comes across too strong, but the question should be 'Why use Norton's AV at all?!' Look - there are better AV programs around - see independent tests such as West Coast Labs - and there are cheapers ones as well - AND Nortons is horrible to try to get rid of since they don't have an uninstaller and Nortons will conflict with other programs, especially rival competitor AV's. Personally, I got rid of my Norton's AV (took lots of registry fiddling) and now run the free AVG program at grisoft.com and eTrust EZ Antivirus (only $40 NZD and cheap yearly updates). | Guest (0) | ||
| 53137 | 2002-06-11 01:43:00 | Why use NAV? Cos they have a great enterprise version. We run a NAV server which checks for updates from Symantec. It also report back to us our user's version and their virus definition version. Our users can get the latest virus definition from the server. It has certainly made our life easier since replacing our Innoculate and Mcafee versions. Don't bag NAV just because you decided to go for a free version. NAV is a great product. |
