I have a dial-up modem connection to connect to the internet. When I start outlook express, I first get the connection screen where I can choose my dial up connection and then connect to the internet. After the connection is established, the emails are downloaded from the server.
Since I installed avast! 4 this doesn't work anymore this way. When I start up outlook express I don't get the connection dialogbox. Immediatly the program tries to download the email. As there is no connection, I get no emails downloaded. When I look to the connection settings, they are changed. Before the installation of avast!, the setting was 'ask me to dial a connection'. Now the connection setting is changed to 'never dial a connection'. When I put the setting back to 'ask me to dial a connection' I can download the email. However, when I reboot my PC, the setting is switched back to 'never dial a connection'.
As the only change on my PC is the installation of Avast, I guess Avast! changes this setting. Is it possible to avoid that and keep my settings after reboot ?
