I don’t think the problem you are having has anything to do with the MS Updates. But, then again, that may depend on the OS you are using … I dunno. I’m using W98SE fully patched and with the recent security updates. None of this caused me any problems with email nor avast! :slight_smile:

The problem is more likely with either Outlook, Outlook Express, or the email you are receiving. Those two are not very good email programs as far as security goes. :frowning:

Sorry, but that’s my 2 cents worth. Hope the issue is resolved for you very soon! :slight_smile:
