If you are using MS Outlook (not express) and the avast Outlook/Exchange provider/plug-in, then you don't need STunnel as the plug-in works within the MS Outlook client. So it can scan the gmail or secure content.

Thank you DavidR. Oh, that is wonderful news !!
So all I have to do is install MS Outlook. Yes, but can you tell me
what difference using Microsoft Outlook in conjunction with the Avast Outlook Provider will make in view of the fact that Avast Standard Shield provider will check any files arriving in my hard drive when I open my Google Mail emails ?

For the second question: go to add/remove programs, check the option to uninstall Avast, then choose change and uncheck the resident protection, you don't want to use.
For the past few hours, I have attempted to follow the Add Remove Programs procedure.
I click on the Avast Antivirus program in the list click on Add/Remove tab. The Avast options come up. There are four of them. CHANGE, UNINSTALL, UPDATE, REPAIR with CHANGE being highlighted. I click on Next and each time after I do this, the same message comes up which is :
nvast virus setup cannot be started.
nvast virus is running an automatic update.
Please wait until it finishes and run Setup again.
I even ran the msconfig program in Windows 98 and unticked the three Avast programs that automatically open upon startup. I then restarted the computer and the same message came up as above.
Can you please tell me what to do ?
