Hi FrVi1,
Unfortunately, sometimes the only solution to ZA's refusal to allow a program access, (once you've denied access to that program) is to
Totally un-install ZA. Reboot and then Re-install ZA.
Once that's done, you can then make sure that you allow access to your legit. programs when asked for permission by ZA.
I didn't say it was easy or fun, but this will work.
I'll try this and if that doesn't work, I'm off to majorgeeks.com in search of another free anti virus program.
Thanks.
When avast! is at fault, blame avast!. In this case, it has nothing to do with avast!You've told your firewall to block a certain application which it has done. Unfortunately, that application
was the one needed to update avast.
Unless you exercise greater care in which programs to allow and which programs to deny access to in your firewall program, this same problem
could happen to any program or service.
ZA gives you 2 options in granting permission. If you check the box for ZA to remember the decision you make, that decision is
permanent.
If you don't check the box, you only either give permission or deny permission for a single instance.
So if you aren't sure,
don't check the little box.
