Thanks Pondus.

I don’t see where that link shows how I can turn the Spam Bar off. I don’t want to turn off the Mail Shield for obvious reasons, just the Spam Bar.

Sorry if I have missed a detail here.

Thanks for your help but I have been Googling this problem on and off for the past year. If I had found the solution, believe me, I wouldn’t be wasting my time and energy posting here.

When you choose the remove option, the next time you open an email it’s back again.

As I said, the solution used to be to rename or delete asoutext.dll but that no longer seems to work.

I’ve seen people remove it by simply right clicking the toolbar and disabling it.

This has been know about for a long while with people posting get rounds. Details got lost though it seems, when the old Avast forum got hacked. I don’t know how to find those posts now.

Any thoughts on this from the Avast staff?

OK, so I raised a ticket.

Does anyone know if these get responded to or not?

Staticguy · 2015-04-10T09:29:50.000Z

Yes, it will get responded. It takes usually 1-2 weeks. Tickets are served on a first come first serve basis. DO NOT reply to your own ticket or it will get back in the line from other support tickets. So please be patience.

Thanks Staticguy

Here is old link…you saw the Reg Edits ?
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=100431.0

I’ve never seen this Outlook ToolBar but I only use FREE versions.
What exactly is it ?

system · 2015-04-10T17:10:12.000Z

Got a reply on my ticket, thanks Avast for the swift reply.

Suggested solution was to modify setting but these weren’t available on the free version.

So had to modify the registry as per these instructions.

Hope I haven’t disabled Avast and it is still checking for viruses.
