You probably should study what it is:

From their description: "ThreatFire is not a substitute for a signature-based antivirus scanner. As an example, ThreatFire won't detect a dormant threat - its sole focus is on activity. And if the system is already infected, ThreatFire will quarantine only the active components leaving portions of the malware behind. However, those aren't shortcomings in ThreatFire, but rather just a distinction in how the technology works. Behavior analyzers are geared for prevention and in that capacity, ThreatFire excels."

It doesn't do anything that a full feautured AV would do.  The issue posted I believe, would be geared to the signature based full AV packages.  Those at this point, don't work well together, but always read the fine print to see the manufacturers recommendations.  Non of the ones I recommend work together.
