I have experienced similar situation while retrieving e-mail with Outlook Express.

Error:


Buffer overrun detected

Programfiles\alwil\Avast4.1.…(would not let me see the rest)

A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the programs internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must be terminated…


Has happened twice in last two days.

OS Windows XP Home
Avast is up to date.
Have been using XP for 8 weeks, no problems

I have used Avast for nearly two years (on Win98), never a problem. Would like to know what if anything can be done. ISP has no idea. Customer Tech Support for my computer had nothing to offer either.

Just wanted you to know you’re not alone VonAngel
