Hi!
Recieved error stating that Avast is now unable to protect incoming mail, error: 10022. I restarted my WinXP SP. 2 system twice and still got the error. Any thoughts would be most appreciated!

Do you have (or did) another av installed?
Error 10022 means: An invalid argument was supplied (WSAEINVAL)
And have a look HERE (http://forum.avast.com/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=9043;start=msg75003#msg75003)

Installed beta with same error on startup. I have Outlook Express and McAfee firewall. Two changes to my system yesterday, installed pc game and Avast found virus, Win32:Swen Wrm, sucessfully deleted.

avast beta? 4.5.549 is not a beta...
I have Outlook Express and McAfee firewall.
Maybe it'll be better to be off-line. Disable the firewall and then install avast.
Avast found virus, Win32:Swen Wrm, sucessfully deleted.
Did you send it to chest?
Do you have the name of the infected file (and path)?

I did send the file to the chest and deleted it as well. But here's the info on the virus and it's location.
Win32:Swen[Wrm]

I have had the same problem. Avast stopped protecting my email on all servers pop and imap. It occured after I alowed avast to update to the new version just this past week. I have been using avast since june, without any problems. I have mcAfee firewall, windows xp, and use outlook express for mail. Ive checked for other viruses and spyware since then and have come up nothing. I already has the services updates to xp prior, and didn't have any problem with it. The only thing i can think of is the recent update i alowed avast to do to the program.

Error 10022 could mean that the mail scanner is blocked by a firewall.

hi and welcome tina
you will find that as a result of the upgrade there were changes to the way Avast! handles e-mail accounts.
Providing you are running win2k or later then your e-mail must now be configured as if avast didnt exist.
Previously e-mail was diverted through avast . this is no longer the case. looking around you will see hundreds of threads on this topic mostly around 3-5 weeks ago
