AVAST Free V.5

Hi, I have just installed AVAST Free and it seems to be causing issues with Thunderbird.

Everytime I try and send an email I get a Error 10060 as incorrect greeting: Cannot connect to SMTP server.

I have checked and the port used by TB and AVAST is 25!

I have tried using SSL, with username etc I have tried offer ports!! Nothing.

Anyone got any ideas?

Please use the search option on this webboard before asking.
There are many posts with (possible) solutions.
HERE is one of them.

Many thanks but I understood little of what you linked to!!

PS everything I have read so far notes somethinga bout SSL…not something I use.

I just use port 25 like I have done for years, and using AVG I should add.

The error has only occured when I started AVAST!!
