I can not set avast to scan my emails.
« on: July 12, 2012, 08:44:48 AM »
I use Avast Internet Security 7 and Outlook Express 6. When using version 6 could scan my emails from gmail account. Now avast 7 informed me that it should disable the Outlook Express box SSL, it will set up and so the scan will start. I selected ok in the box and have disabled SSL only that emails were not scanned. I wonder what they must do to be scanned.

I've tried to set up by avast but every time I clik ok the box protocol that should be in SMTP back to pop.
I found a site that had to leave this way in Outlook

pop3 pop.gmail.com 110
smtp.gmail.com SMTP 25

And in this setting avast.

pop3 pop.gmail.com 995
smtp smtp.gmail.com 465
I did everything as explained on the site and could not even receive or send emails.
Delete the configuration of avast and placed well in outlook express

pop3 pop.gmail.com 995
smtp smtp.gmail.com 465
Now do not get over the message box and disable SSL for recebimeto the message is selected. Help me.
I really want to go back to avast to scan emails.
I use windows xp sp3

if you dont get it to work......it is nothing to worry about
google protect all gmail accounts with postini spam/virus filter using twin AV engines from authentium / McAfee
