I’MBRAND NEW TO THIS FORUM AND THE WORLD OF COMPUTER FUN AND FRUSTRATIONS.
I’M USING THE HOME EDITION WITH MY WINDOWS 98 SE AND
MSN MESSENGER 7.0 IVE SET MSN MESSENGER TO USE ASHQUICK TO SCAN FILE TRANSFERS BUT STANDARD SHIELD IS SCANNING FILE TRANSFERS FROM MSN WHILE THE INSTANT MESSAGING MODULE DOES NOTHING. NO SCAN FILE OR LAST FILE SCANNED - ALL AT 0. IVE GONE TO THE UNINSTALL PROGRAMS OPTION AND HAVE DONE ALL THE UPDATES ETC AND THAT SHOWS THAT EVERYTHING IS CHECKED. THE CONTROL WINDOW ALSO SHOWS THE PROVIDER IS RUNNING, BUT ITS NOT DOING ANY SCANNING WHATSOEVER. IT APPEARS ALAD WARESETTINGS ARE IN ORDER. I USE NO FIREWALL. I HAVE SPYBOT AND LAVASOFT ADWARE PROGRAMS. ALL ELSE IS WORKING GREAT WITH SENSITIVITIES ALL SET TO NORMAL. INSTANT MESSAGING HAS THE MSN / WINDOWS MESSENGER BOXES CHECKED. BUT I MUST BE MISSING SOMETHING. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS AND ALOHA !!!

Can you please write with lower case letters? Upper case are meant for yelling…

Can you make sure that MSN Messenger is checked in Instant Messaging provider?
Does restarting your computer fix the problem?

sorry about the caps. yes the settings seem correct. no, restarting the comp doesnt change anything.

Can you please download avast! External Control from my eXcessive Software page (see my signature). Run the program and select avast! Status feature in menu.
Then copy&paste the status info content here. Thanks

as you requested. thanks again !!!

Thats odd. Everything seems to be in place.
Go to Add-Remove Programs,select avast! and then select Repair funtion inside avast! Uninstaller.

yes i have done that…still the same.

RejZor, is this ok?

Yeah it’s normal for Windows 98 because they don’t have admin/limited accounts.
But i’ll try to fix this in next release…
I’ll also try to add Windows version detection.

so i take it that there is no fix for this problem on my system then? at least the standard shield module is scanning those msn transfer files. :-\

Try disabeling the scanning file tranfer in MSN. You dont need to set it in MSN messenger. If it dont resolve the problem, dont worry the resident shield protect you

alrighty then…thanks & aloha !!!1
