Hello! :)
First of all; hello everyone. Just got here on the forums. :)
Anyway, my problem is when I shall set up configurations on the e-mail settings on the Avast Internet security... I have no idea what the settings is supposed to be! I use hotmail on the internet, not Outlook.
I am grateful for every answer and the help I get!

avast does not scan webmail....no AV does
Microsoft protect all Hotmail / Livemail accounts with Trend Micro on there mail server

No need to configure the Mail-Shield, if you only use Hotmail on the net.
