My panda antivirus just expired n i decided to switch to avast … i must say i m impressed . I m facing a huge problem with this AV tho . Whenever i open outlook express to check my emails , i get a “potential virus” box appearing whenever i get spam mails (these spam mails can reach up to 100S) i have to click on delete or continue button at least a 100 times for all those spam mails . Can u pls teach me how to get rid of that ? thks in advance
Can you be more detailed “potential virus?” don’t you mean suspicious?
You only have a limited option in the Home (free) version, to send the infected file to the virus Chest (silent mode, with general answer no). My own feelings on this is you should use the default interactive action. This way you know exactly what is going on with your system. If you are getting so many warnings, that you want to automate this process, I believe you should review your security practice.
I would suggest that you pre-filter you email with an anti-spam program and delete the spam before avast scans your email. I use MailWasher Pro and that deletes spam at source email server, then avast scans any email that are downloaded by OE. There is a freeware version of mailwasher but that is only good for one email account (fine if you only have one email account or most of your spam comes from one account). There are others, but many scan when it is in your inbox (too late in my opinion).
Thanks i will download it now n try it out ;D
