hi,
I've been trying out avast4 home edition for a couple of days now and don't see this addressed on the forum, sorry if it is.
My mailer is pegasus and when trying to send I've been getting an error about mail relay. I see that it is now being sent through 127.0.0.1 so I presume avast is doing a kind of proxy for this. I've solved this by turning off all protection for internet mail (don't really need it as I don't download untrusted attachments etc.) but I'm wondering if there is another solution.
A second question. Can I turn off resident protection alltogether and just use avast as a standard virus scannner; i.e. just run a thorough scan whenever I wish to. I have a good grasp of system security and potential threats and would just like to be able to give my machine a once over every now and again.
thanks for any repsonse,
David
