I am not familiar with "ZoneAlarm's antiransomeware ", but just looking at their website I'm not that impressed. But hey. if you can burn $2/Mo or $20/year, go for it. And while they say it's fully compatible with "ALL" A/Vs, don't be surprised when a conflict arises. As far as the technical stuff, I'll leave that to the Mods to respond. I believe in K*I*S*S.

Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted September 9, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 9, 2018 Generally I'd recommend to avoid using more security applications together. If the other sw doesn't install a driver it might work with ESET. Otherwise the chance of clashes will increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itman 1,659 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Many of the third party anti-ransomware products do have conflicts with a number of AV solutions. Search on both wilderssecurity.com and malwaretips.com for threads on anti-ransomware for further details. If you're interested in the ZA product, don't purchase it outright. Instead, install it under a 30 day trial license. This should provide enough time to see if there are conflicts with Eset. Personally, I would just use the money allocated to purchase a good disk imaging product that will back up your entire system. After all, the undisputed best protection against ransomware is frequent file backup with the backup stored offline/offsite or, the backup device and related storage media disconnected from any PC or network connected device.

jems 4 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Thanks for all the good replies. Marcos, as usual - is pretty right on. Good advice Itman. And Tomface - i VALUE your input & opinions. Thanks for getting TomFace to reply, Novice. Think IF i try it, i'll try the free one - see if there is conflict with Eset. Cheers to all.
