    I have been using AVAST less than a year, now version 4.6,
    and have seen no problems with AVAST in combination with the
    free ZA firewall.

    It auto-updates on a regular schedule, always seems to be up
    to date. Updates are fast.

| Has Avast fixed the problem with Zone? I haven't used it
