Right after a virus problem and a hard drive format! Grrr! Hmmm... Do they tend to clash even with ZA's antivirus disabled and just the free avg antivirus installed? I really have no idea, but if it were me, I'd go with only ONE vendor, when using a "suite". I haven't used either one in a long time... and never together. I prefer separate programs for AV and FW, because of difficulties I had in the past. Dropping AVG seems like it could be risky as I am unable to update ZA on my machine...always get an error message when I try, that's been a problem for a long time. Any suggestions as to another firewall to try with AVG? You could use the Windows firewall with AVG's AV, to see if we're on the right track that there's a conflict or problem with ZA. Windows FW won't block outgoing traffic, but it'll do for a test. :) Some people prefer Windows FW, or simply never change what their PC came with. I did previously have AVG's entire suite trial installed, but the firewall seemed..well...kinda weird and not very ...umm...thorough, or something, I guess. So..would it work ok to run AVG's antivirus and some other firewall, or would there be possible clashes there too? My version of ZA is 8.0.298.035. I tried googling for these problems and could find no info about any version this recent! And basically not a lot of info at all. Do you have some idea which version may be causing problems? I'll keep looking now that I know what version you have. Do I need to reduce my internet security programs in order to reduce my anti-virus programs? ..Or is it a matter of just not having the antivirus parts of these programs enabled in more than one suite? Is there any other way to possibly track down the specific error message? Not that I know of, we just need to get one set of security programs working for you, before we can find if there is a SeaMonkey conflict. For what it's worth, Firefox is even worse, at least today, I could not even get into my bank website with it! ...and it seems to be stalling when it tries to connect to "search.avg.com". Could something along these lines possibly be affecting SM too? ...like when it "kicks out" of the banking site...maybe it's actually looking for "search.avg.com", but not telling me that? I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with AVG at all anymore, and don't use Firefox so I'm no help at all with this. I think the key is getting your security programs to work correctly, before we can identify any problems with these Mozilla based programs. It seems to me disabling the ZA suite completely for now, and seeing what results you get with AVG and the Windows firewall enabled, should be the next step. What do you think? bj ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
