Security Center no longer recognizes AVG and ZoneAlarm

[Guest]

Just ran the XP2 security update and Security Center no longer recognizes AVG
and ZoneAlarm. I don't like running in ignore mode, so any idea when you
will fix this?

Update your versions of ZA and AVG. ZA and AVG work fine with Security
Center on other machines with SP2. BTW, this isn't Microsoft you're
talking to. While some MS employees do occasionally post, the majority
of helpers are volunteers who do not work for Microsoft. This is a
public newsgroup offering peer-to-peer support hosted on Microsoft
servers.

As Malke stated, upgrade to later versions of both AVG and ZA, as I run both
and SP2 has no problem identifying either for their respective roles in
security center. Be very careful with v6+ of ZA, configured out of the
box/download/however, it blocks the DNS ping port, so if you have broadband
and after a short while, you loose contact with your ISP's DNS server and
can no longer resolve Internet addresses, although you can browse your local
network fine.

I am already running the current AVG, and Zone Alarm is 5.00.094. I can't
go to ZA6, it is buggy as hell and breaks my VPN connections. Security
Center had no problem with ZA5 or AVG before the latest security upgrade.

That's what I love about Microsoft. No way to report bugs.
