PCcillin Suite 2005 ?

[Andy100]

I have now got PCcillin 2005 which includes a firewall. Now the question is
i have ZoneAlarm Pro already and i think it does a great job (as a
firewall), not sure what it's like as Anti-Virus, i do use it and don't get
many (if any) viruses, so i should probably assume it fine as AntiVirus.

I got a copy of the PCcillin 2005 suite which has antivirus/spyware and
firewall. But it doesn't like ZoneAlarm Pro, it asks me to uninstall
ZoneAlarm and my question is "Is PCillin 2005 with its A/V and FireWall,
better, or worse (or as good as) ZoneAlarm Pro ?".

I didn't want to uninstall ZoneAlarm incase i didn't like PCillin as that
means re-installing ZA and getting it to 'learn' allowed programs etc again.

Cheers for any input.
Andy

ZA Pro incorporates CA's eTrust EZ AV.

TrendMicro's suite does not include a true firewall. It lacks
application control, but does an excellent job at network intrusion
control and can be configured to control outbound traffic by protocol
and port.

You can install TIS without installing the firewall. There is an article
in Trend's KB that discusses how to do that. But, then you'd have to
uninstall the AV component of ZA Pro. I'd recommend just deciding on one
or the other.
