Unfortunately, you haven't included any useful information in your post,
so you can't get a specific answer. Go here to get help in making a
good post:

Then do come back and repost with all necessary details. There are lots
of people reading this newsgroup who want to help you (like me), but
you have to give us something with which to work.

Responses to what, specifically? Not only have you failed to ask a
question, but your subject line is meaningless gibberish.

I use ZA Firewall with AVG7 AV on one HD with Win ME, and ZA Firewall with
Norton System Works 2005 AV on the other HD with Win XP Home.

Ohhhh, you meant "How about ZA Firewall with Anti-virus?", geez, nobody got
that?
My answer is about subscriptions and lost license keys that never came with the
product! I bought ZA 4 (installed last year onto the Win Me drive) and that
required a few updates to ZA 5.5 or something. Just recently, I tried to install
the ZA 4 CD onto the new Win XP drive, and it said my software was
expired...7/2003! So, my CD must be too damn old! I had to get a trial version
from our DSL provider, and that expires this fall. Will I buy a ZA 5 CD off the
shelf at Staples for $40, or will I renew the subscriptions on each hard drive
for $19.99 a piece? If I installed the ZA 5 CD on each HD, will the
registrations collide and void one or both installations? I don't know.

But I do know that I should NOT have a Norton Firewall! Norton products screw up
so much, (but not on the Win XP installation yet); I want to keep a lot of these
security products as different brands on the machine so if one product goes
down, it doesn't take 3 other critical security applications down with it.
However, I have heard that McAfee does not play well with Norton, so if you have
Norton anything, avoid McAfee, and vice-versa (will this story EVER change?).

On my Win 98SE machine...I had Panda AV for 9 months until it wouldn't scan the
HD for viruses a couple of months ago, then I went to AVG7. Panda did update
virus definitions everyday, while a novice Norton AV User only gets updates
about once a week. AVG 7 updates everyday too.
This notice just came from Panda today. I won't be renewing.
