Start-menu freeze up

Hello again :slight_smile:
As mentioned earlier, I have zone-alarm now.
With the small problem that I can’t access the internet while it is on[i don’t know why, I can’t seem to give it access.]
And without the firewall, I find that the whole “Startbar” at the bottom of the screen becomes frozen.I can still browse the internet though.
I’m a bit curious to what may be causing this.

If you are using ZoneAlarm Free you should click NO, because privacy features are not present in ZoneAlarm Free this will not turn off webshield transparent mode proxy.
Use a text editor and edit the avast4.ini file, the default installation location is C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\DATA\avast4.ini (I would advise you copy avast4.ini before editing it, just in case).
Locate the line containing ZoneAlarmCompatibility= and delete that line. Save the edited avast4.ini file.

If you are using ZoneAlarm Pro and Privacy Control in ZoneAlarm is set to High and if you click YES in avast comptability dialog box the transparent mode proxy in webshield will be turned off you have to manually configure browser to access internet.
