mail scanner warning
« on: September 04, 2004, 07:20:19 PM »
It's probably been asked before, but why am I getting Mail Scanner warnings when I boot up. I'm running XP home edition and I use Outlook Express?

Thanks,
nman_guitar

It tells me, "Mail Scanner Warning Avast! will not be able to protect incoming mail (pop3/smtp/ismp). Error 10022"

How do I get this corrected? Thank you.

Hi nman_guitar, what other software are you running? Do you have a firewall, spam blockers etc? These could be part of the problem. I maybe wrong but if other services are running on ports 25 and 110 or a firewall is blocking these ports then you will get this error message.
