Avast Error Message after startup WinXP

[AvastUser]

Everytime I startup, I got a popup saying [port 25 is being used by another program] Go to help and change settings if your NOT using Outlook/Exchange.  However, I do use outlook. So changing and playing with that [avast4.ini] file did not help. Also using TCPview tool did not give me any clue to solve. A lot of information but no program using port 25 which seems to have the most priority to use it or which is going to use it initially when I start up.

Do you use full Outlook or Outlook Express?

Office XP - OutLook (full)

Just run the Mail Protection Wizard and select "Automatically remove protection from all my accounts". That should stop Internet Mail provider from giving that error message. (Outlook is protected by the Outlook/Exchange provider - that will still be active).

I stopped SMTP services (Administrative tools->Services) and have reset it to manual start (InternetInformationServer -> the default SMTP virtual server has now a nice red bold dot with a with cross in it), restarted Windows XP and the Avast Error message stays away.
 
Avast now seems to have the priority to scan outgoing mail?

Avast now seems to have the priority to scan outgoing mail?

If you just disable the Internet Mail provider (mark with red cross), avast will only scan full Outlook (not Outlook Express or any other email client). I won't talk about priority but will scan or won't scan. Like Shakespeare: to be or not to be
