nice idea, but what happens if AVAST downloads a newer version and asks you to reboot so it can install it?
answer: that newer module tries to connect to the internet just after boot, before explorer and ZoneAlarm have started. And since it is a new version, the resident of ZA tries to ask permission, and cannot.
Well if your avast is updating would be a good sign in the ZA application list ( if that is what it’s called in ZA as I don’t use it ) make sure all avast processes are set to allow all.
As long as avast is updating properly you should be fine and members with more ZA experience will probably add their opinions when they notice this topic.
