Avast updates
I know a few here use Avast. Lately, it has pestered me with a pop up telling me my version is obsolete & urging me to download a new one - why not I thought, it's been good so far.
Post install, I found that on three machines, inbound email had packed up on an 0X800CCC90 error, using Win Live mail. Turns out that Avast scans were blocking inbound email - solution was to disable email scanning, reboot & re-enable the scanning.
Maybe just my config, but a heads up if anyone else runs into this trouble.
