mail scanner warning

It’s probably been asked before, but why am I getting Mail Scanner warnings when I boot up. I’m running XP home edition and I use Outlook Express?

Thanks,

Welcome to the Forums. Please help us help you. What kinds of warnings????? unless you give us specific info, we can't help. We specialize in help not mind reading. ;D ;D ;D Thanks.

It tells me, “Mail Scanner Warning Avast! will not be able to protect incoming mail (pop3/smtp/ismp). Error 10022”

How do I get this corrected? Thank you.

Hi nman_guitar, what other software are you running? Do you have a firewall, spam blockers etc? These could be part of the problem. I maybe wrong but if other services are running on ports 25 and 110 or a firewall is blocking these ports then you will get this error message.

Delta.

Error 10022 means: An invalid argument was supplied (WSAEINVAL)
