Title: SSL/TLS connection detected!
Post by: volcar21 on February 04, 2013, 03:22:37 AM
Hi All, I am a recent user of Avast Free Antivirus for Mac and since downloading the program on my Mac PC I keep getting the following messages popping up on my screen. SSL/TLS connection detected! "avast! mail shield has detected a secured SSL/TLS connection that can not be scanned. Disable SSL/TLS in your mail client and enable it in the mail shield preferences to let the mailshield scan your mail and still connect encrypted to the mail server Address: xxx.xx.z.xxx Port: xxx
As a new user of Avast Free Antivirus I do not know how to address/correct this message. Consequently, I am using this medium to solicit assistance on how I should proceed in order to treat with this extremely annoying problem ( as the message constantly keeps popping up) Ergo, any and all suggestions/recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards
