I have been using avast quiet successfully over the past several months. I started with a demo version of avast, and then entered a free serial number i obtained from avast. Around this time i started to experience problems with the plugin to outlook, namely errors are displayed during outlook startup, and avast nolonger scans my e-mails. I've had a bit of a poke around the avast and outlook settings, and i noticed that avast is supposted to uses the ip address 127.0.0.1 to route e-mails through. I have also recently installed apache web server to my machine, which also uses this ip address....could this be the source of my problems? Can i change the ip address that avast uses?
Setup:
WinXP Pro SP1, plus some updates (may not be very recent...been busy lately)
Outlook2002 SP2
Apache Web serever also working on 127.0.0.1
Error Messages:
"The proceedure entry point ?log@clog@@.....etc could not be located in the dynamic link library aswCmnB.dll"
"Avast: Unable to connect to the avast engine. Asats mail protection cannot be started"
"The addin "<avast path>AshOutXt.dll" could not be installed or loaded. This problem may be resolved by using detect and repair on the help menu. Unable to load "<avast path>AshOutXt.dll" You may be out of memory, out of system resources, or missing a .dll file."
I have done detect and repair of both outlook and avast, done a uninstall/reboot/remove avast dir/reinstall of avast. and still get the same error. Even after and uninstall of avast, i can still see the avast plugin in the plugin manager of outlook.
Any help would be appreciated!
