ZA doesn’t recognise many AVs this is not the fault of avast but the fault of ZA. Many user are experiencing problems with this version. You will find similar post to this on these forums.
From a well respected newsletter I get.
Revert to ZoneAlarm 4.5
So many people are having early difficulties with ZoneAlarm 5.0 that I thought I'd pass along how to back out of ZA5. This information is the gist of a thoughtful post from Scot's Newsletter Forums moderator ChrisP. First, [url=http://nh2.nohold.net/noHoldCust25/Prod_1/Articles55646/CompleteUninstallNonNT.html][b]follow the instructions in this Zone Labs tech document[/b][/url] for uninstalling the new version of the company's software. The 4.5 version of the ZoneAlarm firewall is the one I recommend until the dust settles. Here's a direct download link for [url=http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/1023_zl/zlsSetup_45_594_000.exe][b]ZoneAlarm 4.5[/b][/url] free for personal use. If you have the Pro version of 4.0 or 4.5, so much the better. I prefer the Pro versions of this maker's products.
Even though ZA doesn’t recognise avast, that doesn’t or shouldn’t stop it working.
If you experience other problems you might consider reverting to V4.5 until the latest version becomes more stable.
