I've been using Avast with the free zonealarm for at least a year with no problems at all.  I have never seen a message from Avast or Zonealarm about any incompatibility.  I am running XP Pro with SP1.

One wonders why that warning wasn't put out there up front? Anyway, my PC is REALLY acting up today,with both slow and non-responses, and I wonder if that may be related to this incompatibility. If the consensus is Yes, then I can either try another free anti-virus, AVG, the top-rated fee-based PC-cillin by Trend Micro, or, because compatibility should be assured, go with Zone Alarm firewall with anti-virus. Comments are very much appreciated
