What version of avast do you have, the latest is 4.6.744 ?
I’m not sure if this is totally ashMailSv.ex as the faulting module is ‘vlsp.dll’ and I can’t find any ‘vlsp.dll’ file on my system. But I don’t use wireless networking, google seems to point to this ‘V-One Smartpass (Wireless Networking Card Related)’ for Vlsp.dll.
And using a Dell Wireless 1450 Dual-band (802.11a/b/g) USB2.0 Adapter.
vlsp.dll is in C:\Windows\system32. Properties says it’s from Venturi Layered Service Provider Shim. I’m not using it, but it got installed with Quicklink Mobile Phonebook software for a cell phone. There is no listing under “Add Remove Programs” for Venturi, so I will have to look into uninstalling it, if that is the issue.
I’m not sure if removing it won’t mess with your wireless network connection/s, not being a wireless network user myself.
It could be that the Dell adapter uses third party firmware/software, could there be an update for the adapter firmware? I wonder if there isn’t something in Dell support?
Sorry I can’t offer anything more constructive my network experience is very limited. All I can suggest that you run the google search on vlsp.dll and see if you can find some relevant to your problem. There are a number of hits that are Trillian related to vlsp.dll, so perhaps they are experiencing similar issues.
Maybe he needs more info. If so, you can add the following line to the [MailScanner] section of \data\avast4.ini: Log=20
Then generate some traffic, simulate the problem (i.e. force the avast mail scanner to time out by sending an email with attachment) and then post here the contents of the file \data\log\aswMaiSv.log
I resovled this problem by removing the Venturi software completely. I had replaced a failed laptop with a desktop, and migrated all the applicaitons. But I don’t really need to be able to connect a desktop via a cell phone. I never saw a conflict on the laptop because I was using Norton. (Boy, am i glad those days are over.) After googling Venturi, and seeing similar problems caused with Oracle and Trillian software, i decided to remove the Venturi application. After the removal process trashed my Start Menu - Programs folder, I’m glad to be done with them.
It has been over 24 hours, and the fault has not occurred, so I am a happy camper. Thanks for the help.
