Computer security question?

Question

Can i have AVG security suite installed and in use PLUS the use of the firewall from zone alarm? or will there be conflicting happening? thanks

Answer 1

I think AVG security suite has a firewall so you don.t need one more.
If AVG doesn't have it get ZoneAlarm.

*NOTE: Only have one antivirus program and one firewall installed on your computer.
Anti-adware/malware/spyware are ok to have more of.
Also scan with online scanners sometimes.

Spybot-S&D Free. http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

AVG Anti-Rootkit Free. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/39798/lng/us/tpl/v5
AVG Anti-Rootkit is a powerful tool with state-of-the-art technology for detection and removal of rootkits. rootkits are used to hide the presence of a malicious object like Trojans or keyloggers on your computer.

AVG Anti-Rootkit gives you the power to find and delete the rootkit and to uncover the threat the rootkit is hiding.

CCleaner free.

Answer 3

If avg security suite has a firewall included then there is noo need to install Zone Alarm. In fact, it may cause a problem. If there is no anti-spyware, try spybot: search anddestroyy.

Answer 4

they can work good together without any conflicts but i suggest u too use only one security pack on ur system, it would be more powerful then using 2 or more together.
exept the times that one pack is incomplete, for example when u use BITDEFENDER u don't need to install any other security programs but when u use panda or pc cilin u want some more :D

Answer 5

No, there will be conflicting. AVG Internet Security has its own crappy firewall.
Just deactivate the AVG firewall and install ZoneAlarm Free. Its that simple

Answer 6

Not at all. I use them both and have for a while now. They are both very good and work together.

Answer 7

They work fine together
