There was a sequence of windows, one of which saying that I should change SMTP/POP3/MAP4 server address to 127.0.0.1. Two windows ahead, the addresses turned up and I put the number in........ wrong?
Wrong… you should’ve put your real SMTP and POP server names to these boxes. Rerun the Wizard, it can be found in the avast group in the Start Menu.
Anyway, if your mail works, you’re probably OK. You can also vefiry that it’s working properly by sending an eicar test file (eicar.com) – see http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm for more info about this file.
One more thing: In FAQs there is a question about dial-up connections - that they could or should put a setting into one of the files. Is this a recommendation for all dial-up customers?
What OS are you using? If it’s WinNT/2K/XP you don’t have to set up anything (it should work well). If it’s Win9x/ME, you could prevent some problems (which may or may not be nonexistent in your configuration) by selecting the appropriate box in the avast settings (the avast4.ini manual setting is now obsolete). Just start avast, go to Settings, Updating (connections) and check the appropriate box.
