Question Help on Anti Virus and Firewall Settings Please

Hi bit of help/opinions please.

I have Nod 32 anti virus regd version, I find it to be very good. I current run zonealarm(free version), however I have just been been bought zone alarm internet security suite. Now I want to keep using nod for viruses, and spyware doctor for spyware.

CAN I install the zone alarm suite and just disable it from using antivirus or using its antispyware too? (i dont want it to affect my computers performance too in any way will it?)

The reason I dont just stick with zonealarm free version, is this version has a more secure firewall, plus someone bought me it so I would feel guilty not using some of it.

PLEASE help and any instructions on how to do what you say would be great

Regards

Sam

Hi Touch.UV, I should be able to help you out with ZoneAlarm problems/configuration issues.

You can disable any of the various modules in ZA Suite, including anti-virus and anti-spyware. I recommend you disable the anti-virus module in ZA suite, and have NOD32 on. However usually you can have multiple anti-spyware programs running simultaneously without any problems. Thus you may not want to disable the anti-spyware module in ZA suite, and have both Spyware Doctor and ZA anti-spyware protecting your computer together.



Any other questions, feel free to ask.
