Re: ZA does not recognise my AVG

Having Zone Alarm free 6.1.737.0 on XPsp2, and AVG Antivirus
free edition.

On the Antivirus Monitoring page/ tab, Monitoring is on.

But, below that, ZA says that "there is no antivirus running on
your computer that Zone Labs can detect. Make sure you are
running it."

There is no way defined there how to make my AVG identified by
ZA. There is a link promising to teach me more about it, and
that takes me to ZA site asking me to buy ZA antivirus.

So, is it a marketting gimick trying to shock me, or am I really
at some risk because my AVG is not running to the satisfaction
of ZA?

Thanks.

Not a big deal. All that ZA does by monitoring an AV program is ensure
that its AV definitions are up-to-date. As long as your AVG is updated
regularly (automatically or by your routine running of a manual update
service), both your AV and firewall are fine.
