If you are using Zone Alarm Free, and you click yes to that warning that appeared. You're still fine and no problems will occurd. If you click yes and you had Zone Alarm Pro. is a BIG NO-NO.
Hi Fixer
Thanks for your prompt reply!
I really don't think that WebShield is active, as both ashWebSv.exe / aswWebSv.exe haven't requested any rights so far (and they don't show up in the ZoneAlarm permitted programs, of course). On top of that, the "scanned files" in its menu show 0 after hours and hours of Internet surfing!
Is there a way to revert the avast program to its previous state (before the pop-up with the dreadful question!), without having to reinstall it? What about this change (shown below) to the .ini file I found in another topic... Is it supposed to do that?
If you are using ZoneAlarm Free you should click NO, because privacy features are not present in ZoneAlarm Free this will not turn off webshield transparent mode proxy.
Use a text editor and edit the avast4.ini file, the default installation location is C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\avast4.ini (I would advise you copy avast4.ini before editing it, just in case).
Locate the line containing ZoneAlarmCompatibility= and delete that line. Save the edited avast4.ini file.
Thanks again!
