some of shields doesn't run

[freekarol]

Everytime when I have to reboot my computer some of shields of Avast doesn't run so I have to reboot my pc again and then it is ok. I guess there is a problem with free Zone Alarm firewall because after rebooting pc Zone Alarm wants to run at the same time like Avast. Don't you know what can I do about this problem?

hmh... very strange. Usually the only problems I found existed with firewalls and Anti -Viruses was that they would not be able to update.
Well the only thing that I can say is that you can try to make avast start after other programs and see what happens. To do this go to the bottom right corner of your screen and look for the small blue avast spinning ball. It's a small round icon with a "a" on it.

Right click on it and select Program Settings from the menu.

Select Troubleshooting on the left side of the window that pops up (it's at the bottom of the list)

and put a check mark next to the option: "Delay loading of avast!..."

See if this solves the issue and reply back with findings.

Are you using the free version of ZoneAlarm? Aren't any ZA providers conflicting with avast?

Setting "Delay loading of Avast" helped Avast to work properly but Zone Alarm didn't run so I had to restart pc. My free Zone Alarm just wants to run first but Avast wants to run first too so... I disabled autorun of Zone Alarm and now it is ok. Of course I must run Zone Alarm manually.

Try Startup Delayer.
This freeware controls the windows startup (Windows 98\Me\2k\XP\Vista) that does not follow a strict order.

You can set some applications to start very after the boot (logon) itself.

Interesting suggestion. I always used msconfig to sort my start up... sorry sort is  the wrong word (stop is better). That ususaly speeds up the start-up but would not be of much help in this case. Have you tried this Freeware Tech?
Thanks

Startup Delayer does the job better, allowing on and off, timed delays...
MSConfig will work in other circumstances, like disabling services, deep OS configurations, etc., which Startup Delayer does not deal with.

One more question tech.

On download.com It's classified as free to try. Is there a time limit?

Strange. Never has this issue. Seems to be an error. It's a freeware, no limitations.

Excellent...I'll give it a try as well later on... thanks
