Hope this isn’t an old question but I just installed Avast and my firewall (ZoneAlarm Pro) says it can’t detect an antivirus program running. I don’t know that this matters but, how do I know if Avast is running? I see a tray icon for Avast on-access scanner. I’m running Windows 2K.
Thanks
Welcome to the forums, I’m new and still learning also.
I think a search might throw up some issues about a particular version of ZoneAlarm and various anti-virus programmes, but thats from memory (and mine isn’t what it used to be)
If you want to verify that avast! is running, try downloading the eicar test from here.
Just make sure the pc speaker volume isn’t set too high!
See the blue spinning sometimes? If so Avast is working

ZA doesn’t recognize Avast! It’s their loss not ours.
Here is my setting.
Beaten to the reply again!
Heres the info I thought a search might reveal it might not be avast!'s fault
HERE is the complete link
Sorry inthewildteam
Guess you forgot to use Insert Hyperlik function. The fault is with ZA they only like the Big Boys.
I just turn the function off cause the two programs work very well together provided you use the latest version.
Thanks to all for the info and background.
