Most programs with real time protection can
and will conflict with each other, as you
found out.
Try the program before you buy.

ZoneAlarm Free 15 Day Trials

When problems start to act up, turn off
resident shield in avg.

Another option is a license cross upgrade to AVG Internet Security.

They offer 30 day trials.
