I am not able to ‘hotsync’ my plam since I installed avast 4. I recieve an error message that “the port is in use by another application.” Had no problems up until this point. Is there a fix for this?

So your talking about avast! PDA Edition or just the regular avast! 4 Home/Professional??

What is your operating system?
What program does display the error message? The Palm HotSync manager? How do you connect the Palm device?

Thanks

I have avst home 4. My system is windows XP. I get the error message on my Palm 515 screen, when the sync is attempted. It is connected through the cradle which is connect via a USB connection. (I am barley comp. literate here :slight_smile: ). It is the hotsync manager system - I think that is also what you were asking.

OK. First, I moved the topic to the avast! 4 Home/Pro section as it was not related to avast! PDA Edition.

Second – does it help if you pause and/or stop the avast on-access scanner before doing the hotsync? (right click the avast (a) tray icon to do this).

Thanks

It doesn’t make a difference if I pause the program - also am sync’ing outlook (if that makes a diff.)
