I got another message from avast on my computer that they are interfering w/ one another. Something about if I wanted to turn off a web shield but it would stop the privacy settings of zone alarm from working.
Then please tell us what it is, without information we are totally in the dark and unable to even guess as to what the problem might be.
Also if you go on the zone alarm phorum under the general thread there are several posts concerning other ppl and problems w/ the FREE version of avast together w/ the FREE version of Zone alarm.
Are these problems mentioned in any way related to what you are experiencing, if so , do a copy and paste of this information.
And my zone alarm also has not ever recognized that avast is running. It finds NO antivirus program running.
Zone Alarm has never recognised avast or many other AVs, it has a competing AV product so there is no incentive to recognise other AVs, the windows security center recognises avast.
And now not only is my zone alarm firewall not running - after I reinstalled it and uninstalled and downloaded it fresh from the website, but every time I restart my computer I have to turn on my windows firewall again because it turns off.
Are you sure no one here has heard of this? I am going to have to get a new firewall and get rid of zone alarm or something if I can't fix this...?
When you install ZA it turns off the windows firewall as you should only have one resident firewall.
Sorry I can't even answer that question as I don't know what your problem is.
