help!!! my com has been fine, but today, many pages aren’t loading at all… some still are but a mojority isn’t… i’m running both zonealarm and avast home edition… its been fine so far and i haven’t changed any settings at all… is it my internet service provider or what? pls help!!
It could be that there is a problem with your ISP, especially if those problems occurred all of a sudden as you mentioned… why not giving them a call. Anyway they must provide you with some toll-free number, so you can access their technical support at no charge… ask them what are you getting for your money. Are there any current problems with their internet connections and stuff like that…
Another thing you should check… are you using ZA Pro or Freeware edition ? If you use Pro, it’s a well known issue that ZA has some incompatibility issues with avast! WEB shield provider. You can either turn your web shield provider off (which is not the cleverest think you can do), or set your web shield work through proxies. For solution number two, use search feature in these forums (button up there) and search by the terms WEB SHIELD PROXY…
Cheers !
thank u so much for ur help.
i am using the zonealarm free edition, and avast version 4.6 home edition. is there any conflict between these 2 programs?
You are always welcome and welcome to the forums !
To answer your question… no there are no known issues with ZA Freeware and avast! ZoneAlarm Pro version also works great, it’s just those little incompatibilities with avast! web shield… Alwil guys already contacted ZoneLabs, and we just have to wait untill ZoneLabs responds with new ZA Pro update…
I and many other users are using ZoneAlarm Freeware along with avast! without any problems… Just make sure that you allowed avast! services in ZA to have access to the internet. See Screenshot:

Cheers !
yes, i have checked and there are allowed. thank u so much for ur time and help there! i will contact my isp and monitor the situation… thanx…
cheers!
No problem, ask them first because it’s nothing unusual that they can have some problems… it’s a normal thing these days…
I’m glad I could be of any assistance. Make sure to post back when you find out what’s the problem… also, you could post a list of other security programs you have installed on your system… maybe some of them is causing your troubles… you never know…
Take care !
I’d run into a similar problem (IE failing to load pages), and it seemed to make no difference what my avast or ZA settings were. When I contacted my ISP’s top-notch helpdesk, they suggested I try switching to Firefox as my default browser – and that’s worked quite nicely.
Totally aside from IE’s notorious security problems, it also has a number of “mechanical” glitches. And since all the publicity and market pressure has involved the security holes in IE, MS may never get around to fixing those other ones.
It would sure be nice if you could post a few links to these IE problem sites.
I for one would love to take a look at one of them since I’ve never run into a page
that wasn’t properly displayed in IE.
Thanks
i’ve managed to resolve my internet problems… still dun know what the problem is… think its to do with my isp… but thats fine now… so thx sZc! =)
