Hi there
I've just changed over from AVG 6 cos the new 7 is rubbish but I am having some set up problems.
My emails are not being scanned,the icon does not move,no scan 'note' is on the email( box is checked!) & scan count is always zero. (Outlook Express)
I have rerun the set up wizard & tried both automatic & manual set up, both say email is set up when finished but it doesn't work.
In the help is says from 4.5 on it is automatic for windows NT,XP etc, but it doesn't mention 98 which I am.I tried setting it up using the instructions but if you change the server to 127..(whatever it says) I OBVIOUSLY just get a login error message because that is not my serever address.( I had this at first with avg7, reset my server accounts correctly manaually & then it worked but avast won't)
SECONDLY, Avg has a boot up scanner avast on mine doesn't, is that correct?
LASTLY I am totally confused about this VRDB why does it need it? Avg DOESN'T have it and it must have removed dozens of viruses of my PC perfectly everytime.
Is it just an emergency thing? & I can 'disconnect it' safely and it still remove viruses?(also how much space does the file take up?)
REALLY LASTLY!! when you install a program you shut down the running ones in system tray yes! they all have an exit if you right click but avast doesn't HOW DO YOU SHUT IT DOWN? Is 'stop on access' enough?, yet the icon remanes.
I would greatly appreciate any help/advice on any of the above.Thanks in advance
Best regards
Andy
ps Avg6 scanned 3.4gb in 13 minutes avast takes 18-19, is that because it does a better job or it's just slower?
