I am using Avast v4.6 Home edition, and I use Thunderbird to get my email.
I currently fetching my email using POP3 over SSL on server port 995.
Avast does not scan my incoming emails - presumably because it's not monitoring port 995 and because of the SSL encryption. I have been getting virus attachments regularly - about one every two days. These viruses are than all saved in my inbox, until I manually check whether it's a virus, by trying to save the attachment to disk.
Is there any way I can get round this, except by fetching all email by standard POP3 on port 110?
Diablo.
