Internet Security Version 7.0.1466 and Outlook 2003

Many of my outward messages are being saved in Sent Items with the original subject removed and replaced by a SPAM flag such as "*** SPAM ***Hi" This replacement subject usually remains the same for a period of time and then changes.

I have tried closing Outlook and restarting it but it is still happening.  The message is being received by the addressee with the correct subject.

It appears to be random.  Some days it is only one of my email accounts that has message subjects changed but it is not always the same account; other days it is all messages regardless of email account.  Sometimes they are new mail messages that I start and sometimes replies to messages received (which have never been treated as spam).  I have looked at the latest batch of altered messages but I can see no pattern.

HELP please as it is driving me mad!

See http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=107531.0 new version of avast released recently 7.0.1473 and that should resolve that Outlook issue.

Updated and all seems to be working properly.  Outward emails (replies and forwards) are being saved correctly.
