eTrust EZ Antivirus 6.0
eTrust EZ Antivirus 6.1
eTrust EZ Antivirus 6.2Zone Labs is researching the possibility of recognizing other
Antivirus programs from different vendors.If your antivirus program is not recognized by the AV monitoring
feature this in no way changes the protection of the firewall or of
your antivirus program.The Antivirus Monitoring feature is designed to keep your computer
safe by detecting installed antivirus software products and alerting
you to lapses in protection. You can think of it as a second line of
defense in the event that your AV auto update feature has been
disabled, ZA will notify you that there is an update available for
your AV program.
These AV programs are the same ones they originally recognized when the AV monitoring feature came out.
Here is the reply I sent them:
The vendors you have listed are the same vendors that you originally listed when the AV monitoring feature was introduced. How long does it take for you to update your list? I know it's not rocket science. The list of AV Vendors is readily available and shouldn't be that hard to add to the monitoring feature. If you introduce such an added feature to ZA then please at least fully support it. If your intent is to not add any other vendors to the list, then at least offer a version of ZA that is only a Firewall. Thanks.
I’ll keep you informed of any further developements.
Huh monitoring avast! is the hardest thing to do : Even my heavily improvized AEC can handle it.

Bob,
Thank you for your feedback from ZA, I am sure ZA will add Avast on their ZA monitoring list soon just give them time.
Just make sure your ZA and Avast is working well.
I’m a very patient person but remember, my time is a lot shorter than yours. ;D ;D
Besides, I’ve learned that people with big mouth’s usually get things done. My paved road is proof of that. ???
well don’t know if i’m at the right page of this forum- ??? - just updated ZA to 5.1.025.000 version / German version - seems to work out fine with avast at first glance … only trouble: avast seems to take endlessly after booting - and then comes ZA afterwards sometimes also starting strangely asking for some “vector” or sth. but after about 1-2 minutes machine runs allright (XP home ed.- SP2) changed to avast from AntiVir and haven’t regretted it yet - even got rid of two Trojan *.dll files already which haen’t been found before
