virus alerts HANGS avast

i wanted to check whether virus alerts feature of avast works properly. so i went to settings-virus alerts choose SMTP protocol and entered my mail id and clicked TEST button , and boom avast hanged entirely…anyone can reproduce this ? or know how to setup virus alerts without hangs

I haven’t managed to get it to work in almost seven years of using avast testing every now and then. Usually after someone asks this question again, last tested less than a week ago, still doesn’t work for me.
