My bad for posting what I posted in the wrong section of the forums. I'm new here and actually did not
know where to post my original question.
However before posting, I did read through a few sections before posting my question.
After I had posted my original question, I began to run thru the forums and topics and (should have
done a bit "more" of that, before posting, I know) and then I found a similar question to what I was asking
and an easy fix to my "issues".

And also I should have figured out how to "reply" instead of copy and pasting...have it figured out now. ;)

<edit - snip email>

Just some general advice, posting your email in a publicly available forum could get your email address harvested and end up on spam lists.

So you could either remove it or obfuscate it miriam(remove)benbassat (at) gmail (dot) com.

Unless your problem/issue is confidential/personal then I suggest that you create your own new topic (outlining the issue, with details on avast version, Operating System, etc.) and we will try and help.

I feel your pain.  I have a paid subscription and diligently update the software whenever Avast requested it. This last upgrade caused my Outlook not to work. They changed some settings that originally allowed it to work just fine. When I called support they told me the only way that they would fix the problem they caused was if I paid them $180.

What was once a good company to work with has become completely disreputable. It happens. Too bad. Probably some new ruthless management trying to hold their current customer base hostage. These little minds often kill a company before the company is able to regain its sanity. I have seen company after company perish after instituting unscrupulous tactics like this. Luckily, there are plenty of excellent competitors out there. :(

You're totally wrong. Those that I know, have been there for many years. Including top management. The last update actually made things easier for those using outlook since you no longer need to use special settings. :)
Search the forum for Outlook and you'll find many responses.
