PGP Desktop Home, PGP Desktop Profession 9.0 and CyberPatrol

The Avira Internet Security cannot  currently be used  with the 
products  PGP  Desktop  Home,   PGP  Desktop  Professional  9.0   and 
CyberPatrol.   An  error  in the  aforesaid  products  may cause  the 
Avira Mail Protection (POP3 scanner) in the Avira Internet Security 
not to function  or the system  to become unstable.  Avira is 
working with PGP and CyberPatrol to resolve the problem. Until a 
solution  is found,  we  strongly  recommend  that  you  uninstall 
the  aforesaid products before installing the Avira Internet Security.

Bigfoot Networks Killer Ethernet Controller, 
Teleport Pro, 
CHIPDRIVE® Time Recording, 
MSN Messenger

Avira Web Protection is not compatible with the following products: 
- Teleport Pro from Tennyson Maxwell, Inc 
- CHIPDRIVE® Time Recording from SCM Microsystems

Any  data  sent or  requested  by these products  will therefore be 
ignored by Avira Web Protection.

Note 
--------

help you find a software solution best suited to your needs.
