Could someone please post some screenshots of zonealarm's program control with the avast related programs set properly, please.

Great! This is also what I want to know! And also, why does !Avast report an incompatibility issue with ZA, and ask me to disable a feature of ZA? Sounds suspicious...

The only features on ZA that need reducing are cookie control and ad blocking both set to medium.  If I knew how to get screen shots I would gladly do it.  The privacy controls on ZA do not actually do much if you have XPSP2 and or FF 1.03.  The question asked at Avast launch is to reduce webshield scanning so that it does not conflict with ZA.  Personally I used RejZor's AEC to put webshield back to full strength and turn off ZA privacy controls. Works perfect for me.  Also the problem only affects ZAPro not (as far as I know) the free version..

I think it is the settings under 'Programme Control' in ZA. (Access, Server, Email =allow, block, ask) that are being asked for. I'm not sure I understand about RejZor's AEC??? What do you mean? Yes, I have ZAPro.

The actual firewall controls - internet and Trusted are set at High. The Privacy - main tab has ad blocking and cookie control off. Allow all Avast services to connect to the internet and trusted, additionally allow webscanner full server access (there should be 5 entries under programme control) Allow avast mail scanner mail access

AEC from here http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=3021.0

EDIT not a picture but allow( as taken from my programme tab):
File name           D:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\setup\avast.setup

File name           D:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashServ.exe

File name           D:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMaiSv.exe (allow email rights)

File name           D:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashDisp.exe

File name           D:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe (allow server rights)

Cartel

as far as I know this is all that is required for Avast to run via ZA

ashServ.exe = Virus Scanner

ashMaiSv.exe = Mail Scanner

ashwebsv.exe= Web Scanner

the fourth as far as I know is the update service as per graphic

What is RPCSS ???

I have my Zonealarm Pro Internet and Trusted zones set to high EXCEPT when using my home LAN (3 PCs:- a P1, a PIII and a PIV interconnected through a Netgear Ethernet Router).

As my internet connection is with Telewest and uses a cable modem & the same ethernet & Router as the LAN, the Firewall Zones section has the individual LAN workstations added and put into the trusted zone. To browse files etc I have to change the Zonealarm Pro TRUSTED zone to MEDIUM and no problems!

As far as the cookie controls etc I have never used Zonealarm Pro for this as I prefer to use Firefox or Mozilla which can block individual sites cookies, and also blocks pop-ups, scripts etc etc. So the ZA pro PRIVACY stuff is all set to OFF and no blues with Avast and its web component!!

Screenshots can be done easily by pressing the "Prt Scr" button next to the Scroll Lock button and above the Insert button. Then go to your favourite graphics program (check out www.gimp.org for a good free one) and then paste the screen shot into a new document.

In Microsoft's Photo Editor (comes with Office), you just go to file and select "Paste as New Image", or in Gimp you go to the file menu and select "Acquire" and then "From Clipboard". I think in Photoshop you have to open a new document, which will automatically suggest the dimensions of the image in the clipboard, then go to the edit menu and select "Paste Into" or something like that.

To save the document, the best results will come from cropping the image to show only the relevant details, then saving the image as a jpeg with fairly high compression (GImp or Photoshop do the best job here - Microsoft Photo Editor is awful at compressing). Reducing the resolution and using low compression isn't as good as leaving the resolution high and using high compression.
