It should all work fine, since Xvirus products do not interfere with other security products (no device drivers, injection and hooking, etc.). As for VoodoShield, all it does is monitor process execution and send this information back between user-mode processes and the device driver (which receives the process execution requests via a callback notification) for scanning purposes, so it should work fine alongside Avast Free Anti-Virus and Xvirus Firewall.

I recommend you always have an up-to-date system image for backup purposes, regardless, use system restore (make sure it's enabled - vendors like Avast create one automatically for you in the background during the installation progress).

Indeed, it should work fine. I've used Avast + VS + CFW in the past and no problems at all. Due to VoodooShield's purposes, i just had to tweak a little the firewall since HIPS and other complements weren't very necessary.

Can't see any reason why that combo should give you grief.
The only way to know for sure, though, is to try it out yourself -- and of course, you are more than welcome to report back here, and tell us what went right or wrong.
