Confirming that ashMaiSv.exe is running, but there are only 2 services:

  • avast! Antivirus
  • avast! iAVS4 Control Service

Both set to start automatically.

And about that icon, what happens is that if I set the mail accounts to connect directly to the mail servers, the icon doesn’t appears. That’s why I believe the av is not working without the 127.0.0.1 configuration.

Another thing I’ve noticed: I’ve updated with the servers.def file, but when looking inside the avast! interface, I click on Menu, About avast!.., and I see:
Build: Jun2004 (4.1.501)

Have I really updated to 4.5 ?!?!
