After update to aVast 8.0.1483 on 15th. March I could not connect to usenet servers via Newleecher.
First symptom was pop-ups about invalid certificates (one per bot) and using the exclusion option had no effect. (See attached screen shot)
Thereafter Newleecher went into a connect/disconnect loop.
Traced problem to new SSL Scanning feature in the aVast Mail Shield.
Turned off SSL Scanning and problem disappeared.
already had a discussion earlier related
My issue is not related to email but to a Usenet Download Application (Newsleecher).
I have been through the following steps:-
- Run Certmgr.msc, go to Trusted Root Certification Authorities and find “avast! Mail Scanner Root” certificate and export it to a file
- Go to the mail client’s certificate store and import that certificate
But as far as I am aware there is no facility in Newsleecher to import the certificate.
follow the instructions if That does not work and I have no more idea
Vojtech is the Responsible
I was aware of that link.
Read it shortly after I encountered the problem.
Have raised a support ticket.
Hopefully they will have some suggestions.
thanks for the feedback.
