“Reseting” as you said, timeout internet communication in avast! to 120 seconds will not make anything faster if you had that in mind. Actually, it would be much much better if you set that value at least to 300, especially 'cause it’s obvious that you’re experiencing those timeouts. Also, set that TIC value in Outlook Express to 5 minutes if you like.
I’m glad you solved it, but I’m also curious, which version of avast! are you using ? Always try to keep your program up to date, not just iAVS, but also program updates are very important. Currently, avast! is at program buil 4.5.549
In case you don’t know how to chek which version you have installed, just right-click your avast! blue ball icon in system tray, and from the list choose About avast!..
Full info will be displayed.
Using latest version og avast! is very important. Also, you have to be aware that avast! doesn’t support SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connections.
