Connection Timeout, v4.6

There is a little icon in the system tray that cannot be opened. Every 10 or so seconds when i am connected to internet i receive pop ups that say “Avast Connection Timeout…Continue waiting?” It is very annoying!! How do i fix it???

What does the icon look like?

How did you configure Internet Mail provider? Did you allown ‘News’ scanning?
Did you increase both avast! and your email program timeouts?
