Normally I wouldnt care because the outlook tab is scanning but its always nice to have everything running I suppose.
When I go to the Internet mail I see nothing is being scanned. I just looked at the manual for avast and followed all steps one by one by entering ports and what not.
I pull my e-mail from a pop account on yahoo which uses encrypted connections of ssl
I read a post from last year about avast not able to scan ssl but didnt know if they worked that out like the post said or what?
It will work if you use it… otherwise it will stay running and waiting for you to open an email client (pop3/smtp). If it is running it’s ready to scan when needed.
