[Compatibility Problem] avast! with Kaspersky Anti-Hacker

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I installed avast! Professional on my main machine now, and got a little unamused surprised… I use my favorite firewall on this machine wich is Kaspersky Anti-Hacker v1.7, but avast! thinks it’s Kaspersky Anti-Virus running (see screenshot)…

This is a real pitty, is there a work-around or will you guys fix this problem???

Thanks in advance,

StyleWarz

(It’s a fresh Windows XP SP2 US installation…)

You want me to remove Anti-Hacker? Nah, since I paid for it i’m not going to do that :wink:

You can test if avast will work with an ‘incompatible’ application…
You’ll see. I never used Kaspersky so, I’m not sure.
Probably, you’ll have troubles… So, avast! won’t be for you… :-\ :cry:

Well I already tested out avast! alot, and bought a Professional key, but the supid me forgot to test it in combination with Anti-Hacker…
Anyway I really hope Awil will solve this problem, since it’s not so good products get regonised wrong… Let’s see what they say about this :slight_smile:

Did you try to delete the KLIF.sys file like you’ve posted in other thread?

Isn’t ‘Kaspersky Anti-Hacker’ a firewall?, rather then an AV.

Thanks for all your reactions… I discussed this issue with Vlk, and it seems it can’t be fixed, Anti-Hacker uses a driver to function with the same name as the AV driver… Too bad, I’ve to find a other firewall :frowning:

Halio styleWarz,

Cannot you try to rename the driver. How does compatibility then work out. Sometimes it is just a question of renaming the stuff. Else try Resource Hacker on this one proggie, you can even change it to Russian parameters. Never give up…that is the way of “serdecni ludzi ;)”. Keep trying,

greetz,
