I’m new here, although I’ve used AVAST for awhile. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there is a forum. I’m wondering if AVAST has a black list. What has happened is that suddenly I am not receiving emails from a friend of mine. We’re both wondering if she sent me an infected file and perhaps her email address was put on a black list in my computer. I have no idea where to check for this. It’s very frustrating. Can anyone help and give me some insight to what may have happened.
No, avast! certainly doesn’t have any such list.
I would suggest that you and she contact your ISP and ask if they have any anti-spam filtering.
As David suggested, contact your ISP … or check their homepage. Some ISP’s, such as Earthlink (which I use) have a built-in spam blocker. If such a program is turned on and set too high, you may not recieve certain emails. Of course, you do not want such a feature set too low neither!
