I tried ZA 9.2. It caused BSOD. Is it working ok for you? I'm a little gun shy now.

Personally, I haven't had any issues with it. The current version is 9.2.057.000. Here a link to the Change Log. Maybe you'll see something there that solved your previous problems/experience with ZA...

Check Point ZoneAlarm

I found the problem with ZA. It was on Microsoft's end. I think MSE and ZA didn't play well together. I read where it was resolved a while back, but I'm satisfied with W 7 firewall and I'm sitting behind a firewalled router.

Hi everyone. Use of two realtime protection is not advisible read here Two anti-virus. I use Avast free 5.0, MBAM(free), SAS(free), Spywareblaster(Free) and winpatrol plus. Browser: firefox with addon like no script, better privecy. and to keep the OS up to date is also important.

Gautam7, in general you are correct. However, Avast can be run with MSE. They are compatible.

To embarrassed to tell lol
Yeah, that seems to be pretty common knowledge about the two av's clashing. I wouldn't do it, but I have seen a lot of posts where people use Avast along with MSE and don't seem to have any trouble, at least not yet. I don't think you need anything along with MSE as far as antivirus. I have been testing Immunet Cloud for a while without any trouble.

So there is no difference in the look. Any performance changes to note? I'm not a fan of most betas. Usually too buggy for me. But I'm willing to upgrade if it's stable enough.

I haven't read the whole thread but it seems stable.

Of course, it should already be done but if you do install it, make sure all important files are backed up first "just in case".

Never mind. Auto updates installed it and I didn't even know it.
