Re: ZoneAlarm and AVG cause "Shut Down" to Fail

Hi sonar,

I'm running Win98, and on this PC, ZoneAlarm and Av's do seem to fight
at shutdown and startup. I solved the problem by keeping the Internet
Logs folder lean. (delete logs regularly) If ZA creates a lot of .tmp
files, it needs to be re-installed. I also unchecked ZA in Msconfig
so it doesn't conflict at startup with the AV. I start ZA myself,
before I dialup. In the Systray by the clock, I have only Display,
Volume, and AV icons at startup. I startup ZA, Dialup, and other
programs as I need them. It runs much smoother that way. Hope this
helps.
