Title: Connection Time Out?
Post by: sancee on May 13, 2004, 10:33:16 PM

I have Outlook Express and Avast Home.  Incoming and outgoing emails are scanned.  However, a couple of times a day I get the following message:

Avast! Connection Time Out
Internet connection time out elasped.
Continue Waiting?
{Server:'pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com' Port 110]

Any ideas why this happens? And is there some setting I need to do?  Thanks!

Windows XP Pro

Sancee,

You probably need to increase your "Timeout for internet connection". Bij default it's set to 120 seconds. Try increasing it to 180 seconds.

Menu: On-Access Protection Control | Internet Mail | Customize | Advanced.
