Avast antivirus is not compatible with ZoneAlarm. Only Norton is compatible with ZA. You can uinstall
Avast & install Norton antivirus. It's better that you don't use IE since some rogue adwares hijack IE
and connect to the Net!! If you allow IE to connect to the Net, then the Adwares & spywares also can
connect to the Net!!!Better use FireFox or Opera browsers and block IE from connecting to the Net.
I'm telling you this from my own personal experience.
