Avast 4.6 crash during NNTP scan

[netchris]

I am having problems with the NNTP scanner on Avast 4.6.   It seems to work great with only 1 NNTP connection.  But when I have 2 or more NNTP connections open at the same time, it crashes.    I am using Forte Agent on win2000 sp4.

Please see this thred: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=11321.0 and try the patch in my last post...

Thanks

I tried the patch.  It no longer crashes.  Now it just freezes up.  I can't even get the headers now.  This is now happening with only 1 NNTP connection open.

Freezes - you mean doesn't deliver any data?

Could you please turn on verbose logging as described here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=8057.msg65627#msg65627 , then generate some traffic (simulate the problem) and send me the log file?


BTW which newsgroup reader are you using?

Thanks

Freezes - I mean I does not receive any data.  It looks like it's trying to, but I don't receive anything.  Then the sever times out and disconnects. 

Do I need to restart Avast after I edit avast4.ini ?

I am using Agent newsreader version 2.0/32.652 on windows 2000 pro service pack 4

No restart should be necessary (the changes become effective immediately).
