Avast & Newsleacher Supersearch Service

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I have to disable the Avast resident scanner in order for Newsleacher Supersearch Service to run. I read on the Newsleacher Forum that clicking on the on-access scanner taskbar icon and disabling both scan inbound and out bound news at the NNTP tab would fix the problem. When I am running Supersearch the Avast Mail Scanner icon appears in the task bar but it does not respond to any clicks of the mouse.

I am running Avast version 4.7 on Windows XP Pro.

Any ideas?

Try putting this IP address: 75.126.149.157 into mail scanner’s ignored addresses (in Redirect page of the Internet Mail provider).

NEWSLEACHER - SUPERSEARCH - The supersearch uses a protocol other than NNTP on port 119 and that is a problem for the mail scanner.

The workaround is the option “Use alt. supersearch port” in NewsLeecher options or to put the address 70.86.176.98 (which is another/different IP to that vojtech gave {his may be more accurate}) to the Internet Mail’s ignored addresses.

So it may be best to have NewsLeacher use the alt supersearch port and that would avoid the mail scanner completely.

Thanks:

The Alt.Supersearch fix did the trick!
