Hi,
I installed the free Avast v5.0.462 on Monday 15th March. Installed fine. Quick scan found 3 viruses - now in chest. Still all fine as far as I could tell.
Stopped access to websites I knew were hacked - so pleased that it worked.
I use Windows XP pro SP3 and Outlook 2000.
PC has been working fine.
I noticed today that although mail shield is running nothing gets scanned. There were a few emails scanned on the Monday, but nothing since.
I checked in Outlook add-in manager and Avast is there and ticked. None of my email accounts use SSL.
I tried to enable scanning of archived emails but that made Outlook crash.
I tried inserting a note to clean emails but it didn't work.
Hope somebody can help - Avast seems quite good otherwise. I used CSAV before which uninstalled with no problems first, followed by a reboot to clean it out before installing Avast.
Cheers
