Please tell me if Avast 4.5 is supposed to change the pop/smtp servers in the email program or not. I have installed this also on my laptop and the issue I outlined in my initial post does not seem to be happening on the laptop but the install of 4.5 on both machines does not include the “funky” stuff in the pop/smtp settings. I’m thinking either this has changed in 4.5 or the install of 4.5 over the previous version does not work properly maybe, as it voids out those settings?
