Hi, need some assistance. I have a page with advertising and an email link. But whwn I tested it it did not send me an email, so, does thatmean I have some sort of filter in place I don’t know about. All I have is avast free and Microsofts security essentials?
Firstly avast doesn’t block these calls to open an email program when you click and email address. This is more likely to be browser related as that is what is doing the call to launch the email program, what is your browser ?
Secondly having avast and MSE could well be the root of the problem as they could be in conflict.
Having two resident scanners installed is not recommended as rather than provide twice the protection it can cause conflicts that could leave you more vulnerable.
I have never used MSE, so I don’t know if there is a way for it to disable the resident protection element.
