Avast 4.8 home version. Windows 2000 Pro
Starting about 2 weeks ago, Eudora email 4.2 hangs at when I start it up. It hangs for about 2 minutes (±) then it functions normally EXCEPT any links in the email hang for about the same amount of time after clicking the link, before being sent to the browser.
I can turn off Avast and the problem goes away, so it has something to do the the last upgrade of the home addition. Thank you for your software and help with this.
Was there any other antivirus before avast? How did you uninstall it?
Which firewall do you use?
been using avast for years, nothing previous installed.
no firewall.
Maybe you can add the following line to the [MailScanner] section of \data\avast4.ini:
Log=20
Then generate some traffic, simulate the problem (i.e. force the avast mail scanner to time out by sending an email with attachment) and then post here the contents of the file \data\log\aswMaiSv.log

Or, better, maybe Alanrf (another user) could give us some light on this problem… he’s online right now
