I recently download the most recent version of AVAST on a friends computer running Windows ME and Outlook Express. She also has IHATESPAM. The problem is IHATESPAM uses 127.0.0.1 as does AVAST. Is there any way to have BOTH running at the same time and if so how do you configure it?? Thanks...Bobby
avast Mail Protection Wizard should be able to configure it automatically. When you run the wizard, close Outlook Express but let IHATESPAM running. The wizard will choose a port number not used by IHATESPAM and will modify your OE account so that the mail scanner will be “between” OE and IHATESPAM.
