Avast scanning problem??
831696
I have used Avast for the past nine years.  An I have never recieved this (SMTP protocol error 1050).  Means unable to scan your incoming mail).   \n\nMy platform is Windows XP Prof., but I have used every platform that Windows makes without any problems with Avast.  \n\nMy suggestion to you is that you go to add/remove and remove Avast and just install the registratation key they gave you back in.  \n\nPossible that the program did not install correct.  Or you have a problem with your mail services that you don't say if it is Yahoo mail or Hotmail.  \n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France

In my spare time I test antivirus an antispyware programs to see if they perform as claimed.  Or to see if their is hidden embedded trojans or spyware in their program or the wizard installer used to guide you through the installation.  \n\nNortons has been junk for many years and continues to get worse each an every year.  Will find nothing and will remove nothing.  Just one big resource hog like Mcafee.  \n\nRemove the program an install a true free state of the art antivirus program.  http://www.avast.com   This program their free for personal home use has an excellent background scanner that really work in realtimes, to stop any trojan or virus from entering into your system.  Plus you get daily automatic updates two or three times per day.   \n\nThey only charge corporate. Both versions are 100% the same.  \n\nThey will ask you for your email address so they can send you a free key that is good for one year.  After the one year you must request another free key.  I use this antivirus an I never had one virus in my system for nine plus years.\n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France

scan for virus with antivirus. I recommend AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/ ) or Avast (http://www.avast.com/ ). Try also scan for malware, in case there is one I recommend Ad-Aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ ), Spybot SD (http://www.safer-networking.org/ ), or Ewido (http://www.ewido.com/ )

Get Avast anti-virust-- avast.com.  It works, it updates daily.  Download it and do a scan.  After that it isn't so important to do a system scan since it is real-time scanning of everything coming in to your computer.  You can also scan individual files (right-click menu), say something you are sending someone.

Yup, me too.  I use avast! and I know they can stop it if they find it too.  I have automatic updates so I'm not worried.  A lot of hype about this virus/trojan, but really if you haven't updated your anti-virus, you deserve to get hit by this.  LOL.  Just kidding.  \n\nUpdate your ANTI-VIRUS!!!!

try downloading Avast antivirus, or AVG antivirus, or Bitdefender antivirus. Why stop there, then try downloading Spybot Search and Destroy, Adaware by Lavasoft, & Microsoft Defender. Then if you want some real fun try downloading Hijackthis!

run ad-aware, and a virus checker, Avast is very good for letting you know about malware and other types of virus as well, and avg grisoft... also look in your ad remove programs and see if there are any programs in there that you did not add  you can also look in your msconfig and see what is running in there if you need help with this contact me through messenger, click on my avatar and contact me.

I have tried AVG but alot of the viruses they just tell you about, and dont delete. Go with the gentlemans advise on AVAST that is what I use now and it is fantastic!! You only pay if you are a buisiness, free for home use. Registry key is free also.

Do yourself a favor and get the antivirus program that I use and it is free.  http://www.avast.com   This is excellent state of the art techology with a background scanner that is far superior then any free or purchased antiviurs.   Will find in real time a virus on any webpage or file and destroy in real time before the virus can enter your system. \n\nYou get automatic updates two or three times per day.   Plus there is always a blue pop-up from the tray showing you when updates have been installed or a virus has been found.   (If you have  your speakers on you will here a male voice come on say, "virus updates have been updated an installed".  Same if a virus is found.\n\nTheir free for home personal use is the same version has their corporate. They just make corporate pay.  \n\nAvast will ask you for your email address so they can send you a free key that is good for one year.  After one year all you do is ask for another key.   \n\nAvast is out of Prague. I have used this antivirus program for nine plus years free an I never had one virus, or the background scanner miss a hidden embedded virus in a webpage.   \n\nPlus it scans your entire system, all 195,000 objects in my system.   \n\nFree state of the art technology that you will not find from any one else.   \n\nClinical Psychiatrist, France

Many viruses shut down the antivirus program. Best to do an online scan to see if you have something.\nhttp://housecall.trendmicro.com/\nI had McAfee do the same thing to me before without a virus. I ended up having to reinstall it, then it was OK.

Make sure the program is open (start > all programs > mcafee - or something similar) then make sure VirusScan is enabled (right click the icon in the system tray- bottom right corner- click enable)\n\nHope this Helps!
