Bitdefender Pro is way better than AVG Pro!

If you are going to have a so called disabled backup, use AVG for it, as it is terrible at detecting and stopping worms/trojans.

That's why I don't use AVG any more. Avast gives me on-line coverage and pops up as soon as a virus is found, I don't get any surprises that way. Along with Avast I use Sygate Personal firewall...I feel pretty safe on-line

Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

The softwares in question are both known to not be the best at " getting along with others".Make sure you can boot into safe mode as virtual drives like "Alcohol 120%" can prevent this.Would uninstall all of these, then install zonealarm first.Once installed, disable it and install bitdefender suite.Disable bitdefender and install AVG as backup only.Then enable bitdefender suite and if everything is okay so far, disable the bitdefender firewall and enable zonealarm.If they seem to be getting along, reboot your computer to make sure.
