Warning: Zone Alarm Pro Not Compatible with Norton Anti-Virus 2009

Other users--and now me--have discovered that Norton AntiVirus 2009 is incompatible with ZoneAlarm Pro. on a Windows XP (SP3) machine. Try to load Norton AntiVirus and it will crash your operating system, requiring you to do a system restore. You also will find that you must remove the power cord and battery (if on a lap top) to shut the system down, as the incompatibility also prevents you from using the power button to shut down. No matter what you do, the Norton software will lock up the machine if you try to install it. 

Apparently these two companies don't like each other very much because it isn't the first time I've had issues with Norton and ZoneAlarm causing me to remove one or both from my machines. It is quite annoying.

For Anti-Virus may I suggest one of these 2 better choices: F-Prot or Avast. I use Avast and F-Prot on home PC's and laptops. Work like a charm.
