Consumer Products > Avast Mac Security

"SSL/TLS Connection Detected" alert always flashing on screen, won't go away

(1/13) > >>

Great product but I may have to uninstall because the above alert appears on my screen about every 30 seconds, stays for a while & then disappears. If I click on it it just disappears for another 30 seconds before returning. It's incredibly distracting/annoying - almost epilepsy inducing. I can't find a way to hide or even move it. Is there a way..?

What email client do you have installed as avast is telling you to set the security to none for incoming and outgoing emails within it so that avast can then look after it and scan your mail for you.

Amy In Sea:
I don't know about the OP, but I have AT&T/Yahoo although I only check it through the mail program on my mac.  But I am having the same problem.  I have no idea if the SSL/TLS Connection Detected is telling me, "Yay, you have the connection you should have!" or "There's some hideous virus coming through on your connection and you need to do something to stop it!"  My email is spamming others, and I'm trying to stop it, but I don't understand what avast is telling me and it didn't stop the spam.

tumic:
The message is trying to say (the popup messages will be much more informative in the next beta release): "The avast! mailshield can not check your mail traffic because it is encrypted" and appears every time your mail client connects to the server. The solution is not to switch the popup verbosity to "errors and alerts only", but to disable SSL in your mail clients configuration and set it up in the avast! mailshield configuration.

This way the avast! mailshield will be able to check the mail traffic and your connection to the server will remain encrypted.
