DOS-names (8 char) vs FULL Windows names in exclude list

[Lars-Erik]

After adding these exclusions to avast! ZA has not caused a crash at boot (strange thing is that it didn't get all exclusion with c:\windows\system\vs*.dll, had to use *\vs*.dll - even stranger, with the first one it still scanned "za*.dll" and "rsa*.dll" files at start, but with "*\vs*.dll" it doesn't - the logic in that I don't get, anyone that can explain?):

C:\PAGEFILE.SYS,
C:\WIN386.SWP,
*\SYSTEM.DA?,
*\USER.DA?,
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\*.TMP,
C:\MSDOS.SYS,
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\_AVAST4_\UNP*,
C:\Program Files\ZoneAlarm\*.*,
C:\PROGRA~1\ZONEAL~1\*.*,
*\vs*.dll

OK, some experimenting. These exclude settings seems to make Avast! and ZoneAlarm 5.5 beta co-exist without lockups at boot time. But I really think avast! and ZoneLabs should find out WHY this lockup problem happends :-(

c:\progra*\zoneal*\zlclient.exe
c:\windows\system\vs*.dll
c:\windows\system\zonelabs\*.dll
c:\windows\system\zl*.dll

For the completeness: what is the rest of your Standard Shield settings? (mainly, the second and fourth page)

Does the Beta your testing finally recognize avast! as an AV program?

Nope!  But since they are aware of the hang issue with avast! at least they now about avast! so maybe maybe (I use all options to report the missing detection of avast! as well :-)
