Sorry, I didn't realize yahoo went to a premium service.  ???  :-[ It used to be configureable in outlook express. I set it up for my son in law a few of years ago.

Looks like your option is to zip the files and send them to avast.

Hey no groveling to philly12.

Every ISP I have heard of provides email services via POP/SMTP.  So choosing to only use Webmail services is a choice ... it does not mean that the individual does not have access to POP/SMTP services it means that they deliberately choose not to use those services.  So why would there need to be apologies for someone choosing to use a free service? 

The only exceptions that immediately come to mind are folks who get Internet service by using/sharing ... oh let's not go down that road.

Didn't think I was groveling, just trying to correct an error I made. and yes he should have access through his isp, if he so choses.

I was jesting in using the term "groveling" sorry if anyone misunderstood that ... but I'm glad my basic point came across.

I have a similar problem.  Since about a month Avast tells me every, and sometimes several times per day, that it has blocked connection to asrupdates.com because it is infected without telling me which programme or applet is requesting the connection so I can delete it.

Anyone an idea how to solve the problem?

When you create your own new topic, post a screenshot of the avast alert window with the Details option selected, that should also show the process responsible for the connection.  This wpuld also give an indication on the action/s required.
