I'm just setting up a new system (with preinstalled Vista) -- I can access the Internet (Web & email) when I turn off Avast, but once it's on I can't get connected. (I turn off On-Access Protection and I can get through.)
I tried the suggested fix -- it didn't help. I made sure Web Shield is allowed full access -- it is. I tried turning off the McAfee Security Center that came preinstalled -- no-go either.
The email error message is:
Account: 'AccountNameHere', Server: 'mail.comcast.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR concurrent connections limit in avast exceeded(pass:20, processes:emproxy.exe[19], WinMail.exe[1]), there is a collision with another program', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90
Any suggestions? Please? I don't want to run without Avast.
Thanks.
