| 800122 | 2009-08-12 00:06:00 | My free avast told me it had detected a virus, also. False positive, or not, I wasn't going to go any further. The advice given to phone your local council is good advice. Ours told us where to go, in a manner of speaking :D . |

| 800124 | 2009-08-12 02:40:00 | Hmmm You guys have me wondering about my avast free now. Why isn't it blocking something it's blocking with yours - even if it might be a false positive? My status is Active. My Resident Protection is High. Putting curser over the tray symbol shows 7 provider(s) 6 running Guess I have to find out what the missing no. 7 is? I can't remember what I accepted originally - so long ago. |

Right-click on the Avast icon in the Task Tray and compare the lists under the "Pause Provider" and "Stop Provider" to see which is not running. |

The Stop list has 7. The extra one is Outlook/Exchange. Where to from here to fix, please? Edit: My email is Outlook Express - if that matters... |

| 800127 | 2009-08-12 10:37:00 | Did you have Outlook Express running when you checked which providers were running? If not, try that and see if it starts then. Edit: I just opened OE and mine didn't start. Can't see any option to start it either, but it scans my Eudora mail so I'm not too concerned. If you are worried then I would suggest starting a new thread on this topic to see if others have any advice. |

If you are worried then I would suggest starting a new thread on this topic to see if others have any advice . Yes, Outlook Express was running, I checked again to be sure . I've been assuming my email's being checked . Maybe I'm wrong - or maybe I've downloaded something else that's doing the business there instead . My brain is having a tired night, so I'm chickening out on any further search right now . . BUT - One mystification - can't see why avast's email functions have anything to do with its performance when opening a link to a recycling website . That link's what started my query, after all . . . |
