Vlk, I downloaded and installed the new file following your instructions. On a reboot I was prompted by avast to reboot but I cancelled and let the normal startup take place. The Internet Mail Service is running and scanning mails (I checked the file in the avast directory and it not been replaced so I assume I am running the new file as the Internet Mail Provider.

The About message says I am running build 4.1.389 but the automatic update screen did pop up and say a new version was available.

I asume that if I reboot I should replace the file again as above, reboot and then ignore the reboot prompt from avast and continue with normal startup, is that correct?

So far “scanned count” is 176 and “infected count” is 16 so it appears to be functioning well.
