Are you using the last build 4.5.536?
It solves the timeout problems.

Hello,

I've the same problem as eric with avast beta 4.5.536 ; it takes more than 3 minutes to pop an eicar infected simple mail while a clean simple one is very quick.

Configuration :
laptop win xp sp2 french.
outlook express 6, get mail with pop protocol
ISP connection through dial-up (connect at 33kb/s)
avast home beta 4.5.536 french / silent mode  / mail scanner at normal sensibility /
setup to send an SMTP alert when a virus is found

Test :
Get eicar infected mail and clean mail from :
http://www.aleph-tec.com/eicar/index.php

Result :
Long delay to get mail and the following error in avast error.log :

27/11/2004 14:09:36 1101560976 SYSTEM 1752 AAVM - scanning error: OpenEventsAndMapping: OpenEvent failed!, 00000002.
27/11/2004 14:09:36 1101560976 SYSTEM 1752 AAVM - scanning error: ClientRqDispatchThread: OpenEventsAndMapping failed - client probably died, 00000003.

Remark :
When I switch the ISP connection from dial-up to ADSL, the mail are retrieved quickly but still the infected mails are longer than clean ones to get. No avast error with ADSL.

Hope you can find a solution

Farfouille

Farfouille and Eric, if you both uninstall your firewall, will the message be scanned faster?
Did you set your 'proxy' settings of avast (Updates (Basic) > Details > Proxy) to not a proxy at all?

Hi Technical

Thank for your help.

My proxy setting are the default : automatic detection (IE settings)

Firewall : I use SP2 fw so I can't desinstall it. I've tried to disable it and the result is the same (infected files very very slow to retrieve).

This could be a problem. Set not a proxy at all.

No need for uninstall as the internal firewall blocks only inbound attacks and not outbound connections.

To Technical :

I've changed the proxy setting of avast! to use direct connection but it is not better.
Btw I don't understand how the setting for updates can change something to the mail scanner.  Imo they are 2 different parts of avast...

To Eric :
You can use this site to send you eicar pseudo infected mail (harmless) and test your settings :

There are two questions in the same thread: updade and mail scanner. I tried to answer the first one. Proxy filters do interfere with updates  8)

Technical,

There is only one question : behaviour of the mail scanner with infected mail which is really an issue because I think Eric is near to give up and, sure, many people will,  if this is not adressed with next releases...

I do understand that proxy setting can affect updates, but once again it is not the question. Neither Eric nor me have problem with updates. No offense there, you answer to so many questions and your devotion to help users is priceless.

Eric

When you say everything is normal, do you mean that you received infected mail (eicar or else) and that the mail scanner didn't take much time to handle it ?
