Did you run Mail Protection Wizard (from the Start Menu > avast antivirus)?
If you click CRTL+ALt+DEL, do you see ashMaiSv.exe running?
I have got the same problem. I did run the mail protection wizard and ashMaiSv.exe is running. Who can fix this problem??

OE6.00.2800
IE600.2800
Avast 4.6.452
ashMaiSv.exe is running
Mail settings :
Incomming mail (POP3) 127.0.0.1

Have tried setting it manual. Has same error number (4 times. Once for each part of the mail service) on boot.
Any suggestions Other than the onces listed in this tread already, including the link to
User’s FAQ - Mail Protection.tried that too.
Thanks

Steve, will a search only for the number 10047 without the word ‘error’ help in anyway?
If you have Windows 98\Me, the change of the login settings is normal while using avast. See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?action=display;board=2;threadid=7913;start=0#msg64228
With Win98 SE you should have:
pop3 server= smtp server = 127.0.0.1
username = mail.server.coml#user or mail.server.com#user@server.com
smtp authentication enabled and the username there = mail.server.coml#user or mail.server.com#user@server.com
Hi Technical,
I am afraid I already searched as best I could Before asking here.
I can resolve the issue by turning the Ethernet in the BIOS ON. (with Ethernet ON there is no error message)
Turning the Ethernet OFF in the BIOS brings the error back.
Avast is set to 'Dialup" under connection.
Have also tried uninstalling whole app and downloading again.
Same result.
Thanks
