I have cleared remnants of previous “AVG” installation but this still occurs. I have turned off “scan outgoing mail in Avast” but no fic. I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled Avast. Any other ideas? I like Avast but will have to go back to AVG if I cannot fix this.
This is what is responsible for the problem, svchost.exe, no if this is the system file then something is possibly using it incorrectly or if it is a different location to the system file it could be malware, spambot.
If you haven’t already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it, preferably in safe mode and report the findings (it should product a log file).
