and update avast! program with new release 4.5.529

Try that and post back…

Here’s an (incomplete) list of fixes in this release:

  • attempt to solve the “Million timeout messages” issue (Internet Mail provider)
  • attempt to gracefully handle SSL enabled connections (pretending the server is actually not SSL compliant)
  • attempt to solve all kinds of “Timeout” problems in the mail scanner
  • solved the problem where the Internet Mail provider was not starting automatically, and also where it was “Waiting for a subsystem to start” e.g. when the on-access task was restarted (or edited)
  • solved compatibility of the transparent mail scanner with Norton Personal Firewall and Kerio Winroute Firewall (please report other incompatible firewall products asap!)
  • attempt to solve intermittent crashes in aswTdi.sys
  • during the displaying of the “Network Shield blocked attack” message, the user now has a possibility to easily choose “Don’t show this window next time” (this one has actually been a support nightmare ).
