:'( hello friends,
My Free Avast is frequently opening messages like :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
avast! Internet comunication time
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The time for Internet Conection has expired. Keep on waiting?
(explorer.exe -> mail.cablespeed.com:25)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last line whose shows the application name various a little. Sometimes, Avast opens a lot of windows and I always need to close them, everytime.
How would I stop this messages ?
Thanks

Probably some malware on your computer is trying to send out mails. You should use some antispyware program to find and remove it.

As Vojtech says, explorer.exe shouldn't be trying to send email, so something is going on with your system.
Also useful as a diagnostic tool - Download HiJackThis.zip (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip) - HJT Information HiJackThis Tutorial 1 (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial42.html) or HiJackThis Tutorial 2 (http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/#introduction)
For an on-line analysis - HiJackThis Log file - On-line Analysis (http://hijackthis.de/index.php)
Ignore any 023 reference to avast processes, this is a hiccup in the HJT 1.99.1 (especially missing file entry for avast), if you need any help with any of the analysis let us know.
If you haven't already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and run it.
