Hi Technical,
Sorry to say, I thought Vlk's suggestion and my action regarding the use of Anti Spam Apps (AnalogX..SDefender) & it's removal as I had indicated previously, had fixed the problem. It hasn't fixed it.
The problem seems to be random/intermittant.
I use IncrediMail to collect all my Emails from Hotmail & GMail as well as 2 addresses from my ISP. I also use Yahoo, but I haven't received any in a while. My ISP messages seem to be the only ones which get the "Clean" message appended, twice! I've also noticed, none of the email messages from Hotmail or GMail have the scanned...clean message appended.
I also use the IncrediMail function to announce all incoming Emails.
I use default settings in Avast except:
1. additional file scanning of extensions in the Standard Shield
2. ticking the Clean message box in the POP & SMTP
3. untick the IMAP function. (I don't use it)
4. set heuristics to high
5. Turned Outlook/Exchange OFF (I don't use them)
6. Turned ON all the P2P & IM XP functions.
I've also re-entered the Control Panel setup of these several times, but it hasn't helped.
That's about it.
Is there more I can provide you to help with this problem?
I advise many pensioners and support them & their PC's. I'd like to resolve this if possible, in case there's a hole which would confuse some very old users or cause them to lose confidence in their AV..
BTW..Thanks guys for the very quick fix of the 1 Jan Registration problem.
Just checked an email fom Yahoo and it has 2 "clean" messages as well!
