| 1302053 | 2012-09-19 02:58:00 | Hi all, I am getting a message from Avast which says, "Avast! has detected a secure comnnection from your mail program (process OUTLOOK.EXE) to the POP server **.***.**.***. This type of connection cannot be checked for viruses. Please disable SSL/TLS in your mail client so the Mail Scanner can scan your mail." OK so who know what that means and how do I fix it? Cheers :) |

| 1302054 | 2012-09-19 03:09:00 | It means what it says - your outlook mail account is using a secure connection when it accesses the pop server, which it does to bring in mail etc, so Avast cannot scan it. No need to fix it, its fine as is. | Nick G (16709) | ||
| 1302055 | 2012-09-19 03:22:00 | Thanks Nick, But if it's ok why is avast telling me to fix it? |

| 1302056 | 2012-09-19 04:17:00 | Is it an ISP email account. Or something like a Gmail email address you're using in Outlook? I dont know of many pop servers that use SSL. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1302057 | 2012-09-19 04:49:00 | Hi Speedy I have ISP accounts on outlook but also a Gmail account. |

| 1302058 | 2012-09-19 04:51:00 | Hmmm I just looked at the settings for the Gmail account and found the SSL box ticked. I have unticked it so we will see what happens. Thanks Guys |

| 1302059 | 2012-09-19 04:55:00 | Turning off/disabling the mail scanner gets rid of that message. Gmail scans incoming and Avast has realtime monitoring so it's only really for the paranoid. | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1302060 | 2012-09-19 04:55:00 | Its probably Gmail, since it uses SSL for sending | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1302061 | 2012-09-20 01:22:00 | Yes, it seems you are correct. The message hasn't displayed since I found and changed that setting. Thanks for the help. |
