I'd like to install AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition on a PC with XP
Professional and Service Pack 1, but I can't tell from their website if
it's compatible. Has anyone done this successfully?

Also, has anyone run into conflicts between AVG and Zone Alarm?

-Thanks

You need SP2, SP1 is full of security holes having AVG is just not enough
protection. Why are you still at SP1.

This is for a friend's PC that is running custom software for a CD
duplication system. Upgrading to SP2 might be risky; the CD software is
older and may not be SP2 compatible.

Shame you're not in the UK - I think I still have an SP2 disk somewhere.
Upgrading to SP2 was the first thing I did to my mother's laptop when
she got it a few years back

Yes, I did.

AVG Free and XP Pro SP1 are compatible, but I never installed Zone Alarm.

I have 98SE, and did not see any conflict between AVG and Zone Alarm.
(Then ZA had that up date I never did figure out and I went to Kerio.)

So few people use XP Pro w SP1 that I doubt anyone is going to be able
to answer your question.

The people talking to you about Service Pack 2 might not be telling you what
you wanted to hear but they're probably doing you the bigger favour.
