SSL Scan in Internet Security 8 interferes with Newleecher usenet access

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Since latest up on 15th. March to 8.0.1483 Newsleecher cannot connect to Usenet servers. Goes into a connect/disconnect loop.
First symptom is a pop-up about invalid certificates (one for each bot). Clicking exclusion has no effect.
Initially I disabled all shields but then a bit of research showed up the new SSL Scanning feature of the Mail Shield. Turned this off and problem disappeared.
Have attached screenshot of pop-up.

Since last update from AVAST to 8.0.1483, Newsleecher, doesn’t work, when I disable AVAST its goes well.
How can I solve this problem ??

Whilst this mentions thunderbird, the certificate issue is likely to effect newsleecher also, you would have to find any corresponding settings in newsleecher if required.
