294512 2004-11-21 07:45:00 Do you have Zone Alarm or another software firewall running on your PC? Do they have some kind of email scanning enabled?

Cos the problems you are describing are exactly the same as mine as detailed in my earlier thread

I'm running AVG7 free happily with my older version of ZoneAlarm 4.5.

294513 2004-11-21 07:51:00 I have no firewall. I also think AVG 7.0 causes too many problems with Email - the forum on their site, supports this. A lot of users are having troubles.

294514 2004-11-21 07:57:00 As far as I have read on various forums and even in this forum, the problem with the next AVG7 version is due to conflicting mail scanning. Eg Norton security scanning the email as well as AVG. Zone Alarm mail safe scanning the email as well as AVG. You get what I mean?

I'm not here to debate which is the best AV software. I'm just trying to see if I can pinpoint the problem and hopefully give someone a solution to their problem.

294515 2004-11-21 08:04:00 Well, AVG new runs ok here, but I am also using Zone Alarm old (4.5); maybe that is a clue to troubles others have. I don't have SP2 installed, and that could be one more nest of vipers avoided.

294518 2004-11-21 08:42:00 I've got Zone Alarm 4.5 too. But I have just deteted AVG (bummer) and have been able to read my emails. Yaaaayyyy. At the moment I have installed Avtivir and it is scanning my PC. So I will see how it goes, as I downloaded it onto my old computer the other day, and it played havoc!! Another Deleted thing. Thank goodness I have Norton. Did anyone else have the problem of that damn box on the new AVG popping up every half a minute re: the e-mail???? Fiwi (6429)
294519 2004-11-21 08:48:00 Fiwi. Did you not read my earlier post? I have EXACTLY the same problem as you and I resolved it by turning my Zone Alarm 4.5 off.

There is a thread at the Grisoft forum that is over 5 or 6 pages long discussing this problem.
