How Compatible CIS is With Other Security Products: Your Opinion Needed

[Guest]

Have used CIS (and sometimes the firewall and d+ only) with Avira free, Geswall, Defensewall, Malwarebytes, SAS, and probably some more. I have never experienced any problems.

I'm using CIS (AV included) along side Avira free without any cries and tears. Last week I also added MBAM without any headache; however, I deleted it.

Nonetheless, CIS is not compatible with Zone Alarm ForceField. Such a combo brings with it the blue screen of death. I had to log in to safe mode and uninstall ForceField.


Peace.

I tried 2 antivirus together comodo antivirus (included in CIS) & rising antivirus they both work nicely, system was working very fast too, (i m not supporting running 2 antivirus at same time though, i m sharing my experience which i tried & worked)
I got windows xp sp3 5512 edition, 1 gb ram, 845 motherboard, Pentium 4 processor.

Sophos is a product for business.

Ahnlab include a crappy antivirus engine and poor firewall protection.
Not recommended to paid for malware protection.

COMODO CIS is conflicting with GData.
Combofix could not co-working with CIS.

Work fine with Avast, AviraPersonalFree, A2Free,  Hijackthis, Malwarebyte, Superantispyware, and OTScanit.

With Defense+, Threatfire is unnecessary.

Thanks,but the name of the topic is still :    
'' How Compatible CIS is With Other Security Products: Your Opinion Needed '',not ''what is unnecessary if you have d+''

Works WONDERFUL with Avast, Drive Sentry 3.3.0.4  SAS, the Free On-Demand Version.  Incredible.
ADDENDUM: To IROC: SpySweeper (Webroot) doesn't play well with others.  CIS has nothing to do with that.  Webroot SS is like many versions of AdAware...not written to co-exist easily with other apps.  That is arrogance from their code writers.  They get away with it due to their inside deals with stores like Best Buy, who seem to go out of their way to install Norton & SpySweeper on Every PC that they sell.  Amazingly, THAT combo has NO conflicts.  What a coincidence.

Hi umesh.

CIS 3.9 (Firewall and D+) was great. CIS 3.10 did not like SpySweeper (antispyware only), or the other way around  

SS scans went from 7 min. to 25+ min. or hang ups. I reported this issue in 3.10 bug report, 3.10 report discussions, and D+ help.

Other security products like Avast, Win Patrol, Malwarebytes', and SAS behaving normally on a XP pro Spk 3, 32 bit.

Thank you.

We will make sure that this incompatibility is addressed in next CIS release.

Thanks

Hi umesh.

Installed .531. SS behaving much better. Sweeps under 9 minutes. Thanks.

No problem with AVZ (without AVZGuard and AVZPM) and AnVir Task Manager.
