If you are running an antivirus solution from another company, you must un-install the antivirus product before running the antivirus feature in ZoneAlarm Antivirus.

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

Although it is possible to run two different software firewalls on your computer, we do not recommend doing so because it may cause performance problems or conflicts. The risk for potential conflict does not outweigh the benefits. ZoneAlarm firewall is sufficient protection.

This policy is in place for several reasons:

• Older operating systems, even when still supported by the creating company, often have technical limitations that make it impossible to properly protect our customers using new and advanced ZoneAlarm technology.
• When the creating company stops fixing the new “holes” discovered by hackers in its operating system, customers are much more vulnerable to attack.  
• ZoneAlarm strongly encourages its customers to adhere to a “best practices” approach to security, where each best practice that's upheld makes the customer much less likely to fall victim to attack; and every best practice ignored makes the customer much more vulnerable. Keeping software, including the operating system, up-to-date with the latest security patches is an essential best practice.

Inbound email attachment scanning is now included with all major email clients. Privacy controls are now included with all major web browsers. When ZoneAlarm first provided this protection, it was not commonly available. Now it is unnecessary and redundant, so to streamline our product, we removed this feature.
