I should have said WinXP SP2.

I had Mail Client >>Into Popfile (Mail classification) localhost port 123 >>Into Avast localhost port 1123>> To external pop server port 110.

I wanted Avast to scan first when entering the local computer as catching a virus where popfile stores messages could/has locked popfile. This setup worked fine for around a year. It still worked after the 4.5 upgrade, but I got double warnings.

After I reset the avast.ini and the mail client settings (for popfile only) everything works fine.

My question is for other popfile users who have a similar setup based on documentation on that site (who do not want to reset their mail client settings) if there is a way to get Avast 4.5 not to scan on port 110.

There is no question that the automatic upgrade caused double mail scanning when setup like mine. I wanted to alert you to the fact that someone setup for “proxy chaining” can get double scanning. I also wanted your input before I go change the popfile document.

cheers,
