Hi Eddy,
i hadn’t read it before, sorry. but i have now.
i’m running ME.
i’m also very much a non techie so i apolgize if i’m a little slow on the uptake, but it seemed like the fixes there were geared toward xp. am i right?
i have manually set my tbird and netscape settings as if not running avast and about ten to twenty minutes later they have been reset to the 127.0.0.1 setting. this seems ok for receiving mail but for sending it’s a big no go and i have to manually set the smtp server name each time to send emails.
i hope this is enough info. if more needed please let me know. i’ve been working on this for four days now and at least i’m feeling a little less like hurling my computer into the street ;Dcause it looks like this is finally the right place to get help 
thanks again for the help
