ZoneAlarm has a virus scan for email attachments, and if InoculateIT has a
similar feature, ZA's scanner can conflict with InoculateIts scanner. If
Inoculate doesn't have an email scanner, then there should be no problem.
So, ZA does have some sort of antivirus capability. I have mine disabled
because I prefer to use the email scanner that comes with my Norton
Antivirus 2001.
