I have been using avast home for a few months now and cant believe it is free!
Unfortunately I now seem to have a small problem, I have to disable the AV to get my email, which sort of defeats the object. I am using freeserve for email and outlook express 6. I changed the settings to put the message at the end of my emails, but may have done something I shouldnt. I get messages like these;
The server responded with an error. Account: 'pop.freeserve.com', Server: 'pop.freeserve.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Cannot connect to POP server 193.252.22.136 (193.252.22.136:110), connect error 10061', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90
The host 'pop.freeserve.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'pop.freeserve.com', Server: 'pop.freeserve.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11004, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'pop.freeserve.com', Server: 'smtp.freeserve.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '421 Cannot connect to SMTP server 195.92.195.153 (195.92.195.153:25), connect error 10061', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 421, Error Number: 0x800CCC67
Do these mean anything to anyone? I unclicked the boxes I ticked for the avast messages but still have to download email unprotected. I dont understand what to try next apart from a go back with XP or uninstalling and reinstalling Avast.
thanks,
Simon
