Title: Unable to download Skykick Outlook Assistant
Post by: REDACTED on September 21, 2017, 08:38:32 PM
Can anyone advice me why Avast keeps blocking a download of the Skykick Outlook Assistant (SKOA) from Comcast Business? I need it in order to migrate my e-mail from old version of Outlook into Office 365. Even when I turn off my Avast VPN and Firewall, it keeps moving the file that I need to download into Virus Chest. When I try to create an exception and extract it from there it still doesn't let me. Please help someone.
Thank you,
Michaela

This is the message from Avast. I turned off all I could think of, but it still doesn't allow it for download and installation.
