Try that and post back...
Here's an (incomplete) list of fixes in this release:
- attempt to solve the "Million timeout messages" issue (Internet Mail provider)
- attempt to gracefully handle SSL enabled connections (pretending the server is actually not SSL compliant)
-
attempt to solve all kinds of "Timeout" problems in the mail scanner- solved the problem where the Internet Mail provider was not starting automatically, and also where it was "Waiting for a subsystem to start" e.g. when the on-access task was restarted (or edited)
- solved compatibility of the transparent mail scanner with Norton Personal Firewall and Kerio Winroute Firewall (please report other incompatible firewall products asap!)
- attempt to solve intermittent crashes in aswTdi.sys
- during the displaying of the "Network Shield blocked attack" message, the user now has a possibility to easily choose "Don't show this window next time" (this one has actually been a support nightmare ).
