NAV upgrade to 2008 and ZoneAlarm

Just downloaded NAV2008 (upgrade version from 2006) and prior to installation I got the message that my ZoneAlarm (free version) would interfere with my NAV installation so being the cautious person that I am I unstalled ZA. Installation of NAV is complete and running. It has a built in firewall so it tells me. My question now is could I reinstall ZA since NAV is now installed ?Anyone had any problems with this ?

Pete - Thanks for the headsup. I thought the firewall was included. Decided to try COMODO this time. Hopeing no conflicts with NAV.

Update on last
Downloaded Comodo and installed. It created problems with my internet not allowing a connection and after fairly long session with Verizon tech (very knowledgable) he could not restore my internet connection and after I told him about new firewall (Comodo) he said to try unstalling the firewall. That was the answer to problem.
Guess Trying ZoneAlarm again won't hurt although Symantec tech support said it might couse problems.

I am with Pete I think it is hard to find a better Firewall free or pay than Comodo.

I doubt it was really Comodo that was the problem.

Likely remaining ZoneAlarm that did not remove. Nahhh really!

Your bought Norton (my condolences) so you are stuck with it, but you can finish removing the ZA!

Hi Mflyn
Really appreciate your input. Although I still blame problem on COMODO-not trying to be disagreeable however once I uninstalled COMODO my internet connection came back and I had not done anything further than the "add & remove" step to uninstall ZA so any remaining portions of it were still on PC.
Have since done a lot of searching on bulletin boards problems with NAV and some firewalls and several times I saw it mentioned that when using the ZA and NAV one should turn off the "Internet worm protection" feature of the NAV then you can use the two together so for now I'm going to reinstall ZA, turn off worm protection and see if I get them to work.
Tks again for your input

I just thought I would comment here as there is appearing on the WWW lots of problems with AVG 2008.

Avira, Avast and AVG are all good and what I normally recommend.

But based on the issues with AVG 2008 I am holding back for a while as I think they will correct these issues soon.

I have an oportunity by managing 700+ computers in 55 Networks (therefor 55 servers mix of 2000 and 2003) to test over a period of time different virus scanners.

One that has impressed me and it even runs on servers is Comodo AntiVirus. I advise turning off the HIPS.

Good protection and low processor impact!

Same for Comodo Firewall!

PS BUDO ZA or Norton or combination of both. Not Comodo!

 

Update
After I turned off "Internet worm protection" in NAV, ZA and NAV are both running together with no problems. Am also using Spy Sweeper, Spyware Blaster. To me NAV 2008 doesn't seem as much as a resource hog as the 2006 version. I have used Norton for so long with pretty much a compatable relationship I am reluctant to change however if I ever did I think I might go to Avast. My daughter now uses it and seems to be happy with it.
