Hi All. I've recently removed outlook express from my windowsxp system and replaced it with thunderbird. Immediately upon setting up my account in thunderbird, Avast! opened a window that stated that " Avast! has detected a secure connection from you're mail program (process thunderbird.exe) to the imap server ****** (aol.com)
This type of connection cannot be checked for viruses. Please disable ssl/tls in your mail client so that the mail scanner can scan youre mail. The mail scanner will provide the ssl/tls security itself.
Does anyone happen to use thunderbird who knows what the antivirus is referencing? If so, how do you do it? Would it be Tools/accounts/server settings/security settings and then set it to none as opposed to ssl/tls? If so, Is that all I have to do.
Thanks if anyone knows. I've also switched from ie8 to firefox as well.
