ZoneAlarm has been known to create/cause conflicts with avast.
Try one of these;

All four have HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention Software) and are reliable.  :)

Hi moparman. If you care too, you could use the forum 'search' function to review info about Zone Alarm/conflicts and possible solutions as there has been plenty of posts regarding Zone Alarm and Avast. :)
