Hi - after installing Avast my OE does not work - does anybody know the reason?

I'm not sure but, did you run Mail Protection Wizard after avast installation?
You can reach it by Start Menu > avast antivirus

You can choose the second option (not Outlook/Exchange) and all your email accounts could be configurated to use avast automatically (even those ones created in the future).

Did you use a firewall?

what do you mean by doesn't work?...it doesn't start at all or it can't check mails anymore?

please be more specific about your problem..

Thanks for your replies!!!  
 I now found out the reason is my Firewall - installed a complete new one - but the same problem. I have to stop my firewall to get my emails - its boaring, but I m not able to configure this firewall he now understands Avast is my email-master....  

Is there a anyone who can help me PLEASE

Hi shgoh
