    Is it possible to not install / turn off some parts of the suite that I'll probably never need / use? Like Parental Controls or Identity Theft Protection?

    Thanks.


    EDIT: Is it possible to use the Firewall included in Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite with Kaspersky Anti-Virus? I was reading the article on Kaspersky Internet Security on Wikipedia and it said the following:

    Since Kaspersky Internet Security includes the Anti-Virus, I thought it may hold true for the Anti-Virus as well.

    Anyone know anything regarding that? I was hoping to use Kaspersky Anti-Virus with the ZoneAlarm Pro Firewall included in the Internet Security Suite, but this makes me think that it might not be possible.


    Thanks.

    There is no reason to run Kaspersky AV besides the ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite.
    This suite makes use of Kaspersky AV technology, it's almost exactly the same just rebranded to ZoneAlarm.
    So don't install KAV besides ZoneAlarm ISS, installing 2 different AV programs with real-time protection can seriously mess up your AV protection.
    I'm not sure what you can & can't install with ZA ISS, just give it a try.
    Cheers.

    Do you know what version of Kaspersky AV that Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite v7 runs? I currently have Kaspersky AV 2009.

    No, I don't.
    But you can upgrade to the new v8 version for free if your license is still valid. Contact ZoneAlarm about this and/or check this information.
    Cheers.
