After the latest spamkiller program update several weeks ago I get the Port 110 is already in use error message at startup

Program versions:
Avast 4.1.418
Mcafee SpamKiller 5.1.09 (I use MW Pro on mine)

Windows XP Home Edition (daughters computer)
SP1

does this replicate on your end?

Use MailWasher !!! NO problems at all… most important, it adores avast!

Mac, port 110 is in use by your email client (probably).
Set your email client and Mcafee SpamKiller to 120 (for instance).
Let avast in the 110.
