I own Avast Pro, do I still need Zone Alarm?

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Hello,

This is my first time posting. I did a search and couldn’t find anything.

I have the paid version of Avast Pro Antivirus and the paid version of Zone Alarm Pro. Do I still need a firewall if I have Avast Pro? I know Avast protects me against a virus and the like, but does it give me firewall protection as well?

Thank you in advance!

Pro does not contain a firewall, thats only in the AIS version.

  1. No, it isn’t. :wink:
  2. Yes. (But I wouldn’t use ZA.)
  3. If you use AIS, yes. :slight_smile:

Yes, avast Pro is an antivirus only and you need a firewall. AIS is an antivirus + firewall.
Otherwise, disable the antivirus features into Zone Alarm or they will conflict with avast Pro.
