Scan change the setting in my outlook

[snooker]

Hi ... I have avast 4 home version and i am using windows xp pro ... I done a virus scan on my computer and i notice afterward that my setting in the outlook express was changed .... In my pop and smtp area both had this 127.0.0.1 .... Now why did that happen and what is the best way to perform a scan Or what is it that i have done wrong Thanks

The change has been done by avast! Mail Protection Wizard - to enable the e-mail protection. Is there any problem about it? (i.e. can you send/received your e-mail?)

Hi ... I am not sure whether if i could or couldn't because i made the changes back before i could notice .... If it happen again i will let you know whether i can send and receive emails .... Thanks

Well, it won't happen again by itself. Either you run the Mail Protection Wizard that will set the values back, or you keep your original ones and your e-mail will not be protected by avast!.
