scouse,

ZA seems to be having a problem with Avast for some reason.  Shut down Za and try again.

We may need to recommned a different firewall if the problem continues.

scouse,

AS I said, Zone Alarm is having a problem with Avast or if you want to look at it the other way....Avast is having a problem with Zone Alarm.

Until the problem is fixed by the Avast Team, I recommend that you change firewalls, (or antivirus).

Sygate and Agnitum Outpost are fine programs and free.

Don't ask to me to recommend an antivirus since I don't think you will find better than Avast for the price and support, but you can temporarily install AVG Free.... :-[

I know that ZA worked with the older version of Avast but the 4.5 seems to have trouble working with it.
If you have the older version of Avast, uninstall 4.5 and put back 4.1 for now.

That's all I can recommend at this time.  

Sorry.  :'(

Hi, i have exactly the same problem, did you manage to uninstall Avast 4.5??  Does your pc stop re-booting??

i keep getting doom exploit

Hi,

1) Apply all Windowsupdates
2) Set ZoneAlarm to block incoming connections on Port 135 (and maybe Port 445) -> See ZoneAlarm manual/Docu/Website/Forum for this
3) if you give the exact/complete message by avast, maybe we could give more help
4) Don't know if it's possible to suppress alerts for "Network Shield"-Provider (blocking should still be done, unless you have your system secured very well)


 ;)

I would have added something to this thread but I find the use of txt spelling deeply offensive.

English is my first language, I spell wot as what .....pooter is computer.......and I don't aks someone to help. I ask them.

Scousemouse, if you are in the Liverpool area, you really do need to update your use of English.

That just proves my use of English and your response.

By the way, have you looked at your punctuation?  It's input, not imput!
