Are you sure you proper uninstalled (and not only disabled) AVG?
Yes, I'm very sure I have uninstalled it.
Do you use any other antivirus in your computer (like ClamWin or any with email plugins)?
No, no.
Do you use a firewall? Is
ashmaisv.exe allowed to connect?
No firewall.
Are your avast Internet Mail provider settings ok?
Which one? what to setting up?
To see if avast! is scanning emails, check one of these points:
1) Is the avast icon (the special one of email scanning) be shown in the system tray?
Only an 'a' blue ball
2) Is your email header with the lines
X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 0XXX-X, XX/XX/2005), Inbound message and
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean? (Right click the message, choose Properties and Details). After you check your settings, as they're not there now.
Do not have that lines
3) Are clean notes added at the bottom of the email? (Internet Mail provider settings). The same as above...
No notes
