I like Avast Antivirus - but when I try sending e-mails with Thunderbird it always sends me error message with → “smtp timeout”. I was found a workaround about "unchecked “scan outgoing mail” in Avast settings - but when I reboot my computer it’ll always recheck - so I can’t send e-mail again…
No. I made that changes - Repair Avast - but after I reset every options manually - like unchecking smtp outgoing scan - it rechecked after computer restart… Why it recheck? Why can’t fix this setting to remember my changes?
YES - of course. I’m not a noob… But thanks. Any other ideas? This is a very bad problem - which is on more than 2 different computers too. More of them had a fresh installed Windows system. This problem started at the begining of using the new system.
And - as I know - in webmail Avast can't filter e-mail attachments with possible viruses.
Yes it does, if you save a attachment from webmail / download a file from the net / any in/outgoing data traffic ... it is checked by your antivirus realtime ptotection
Also all mail providers have spam/virus filter on there mail servers (i dont know of anyone that dont)
Examples:
Gmail use postini spam/virus filter with two AV engines from McAfee and Authentium
Yahoo use Symantec/Norton
Microsoft (outlook / hotmail /msn mail) use Trend Micro
Many others use ClamAV since it is free open source
