Sorry. Actually, I've got ZoneAlarm 5.5.094.000 version...
But th pb is still the same...
Thunderbird is slower than ever...
Sorry, I can't see the relationship between Thunderbird (an email program) and web shield (scans web content using http port 80). Web Shield has nothing to do with email, unless you happen to be using web based email (http), such as hotmail or yahoo (free accounts).
Can you please explain your problem?
Can you please reduce the size of your avatar - we try to keep it to a max of 100x100, this helps others using a lower resolution and you may have noticed it doesn't display well.
