I have the same problem. I am using Outlook 2000, but only with internet mail accounts. My Outlook never logs on to an exchange server. There is nothing in the message headers to tell me that Avast is scanning my emails, and I cannot send myself an Eicar test file – my ISP’s won’t let the email through!

Is Avast protecting my Outlook emails? Or do I have to manually set up the accounts the way that the accounts in my Outlook Express (which I also use) are set up?
