I finally had to uninstall ZA from my 2 machines. It interfered terribly with switching printers, sometimes not allowing either machine to print on either of my 2 printers. It also prohibited a weekly download I run each Saturday.

For right now and until the holidays, I'm relying on my XP firewall to keep me safe. My son is coming in for Christmas and will set me up with a router firewall then.

I also run Ad-Aware, Spybot, AVG, McAfee and PestPatrol. I hate how long the virus hunters take to run. I ran McAfee yesterday, after it told me it detected a trojan. It took about an hour, but found 8 trojans and deleted them. Where do these things come from???

I use ZA pro and AVG antivirus free. Am very satisfied with both. Za free is the same firewall with fewer extras. I consider both programs very solid.

Thanks for all the info guys. My Norton will expire soon and wanted a less expensive option. I've had some problems with NAV updating without errors so I'm looking to switch.

Btw, do you need to completely uninstall the NAV and FW before adding the other AntiVirus/FW software?
