Solution
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are using an AntiVirus solution from another company, you should uninstall the AntiVirus product before using the AntiVirus in ZoneAlarm AntiVirus, ZoneAlarm Security Suite or ZoneAlarm Extreme Security.

You may elect to turn off the AntiVirus in ZoneAlarm in order to continue using another AntiVirus solution without any problems. In fact, ZoneAlarm will help you monitor your AntiVirus product to ensure it’s up-to-date and your computer is safe. ZoneAlarm currently has the ability to monitor AntiVirus solutions from Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro, and Computer Associates.

It is important to note that running two antivirus products at the same time frequently causes operational issues with computers. CheckPoint ZoneAlarm strongly advises you never to run two AntiVirus products at the same time.
