Hi Maria,
Its not a good idea to stop using SSIL and if your Gmail account Emails are
coming in and going out fine then you should leave it at that.
Here's what I did to prevent Avast taking control of monitoring mails coming
into my computer through Avast;
1. On your desktop there should be an Avast icon, go to it and press enter
then wait a few moments.
2. Press keys "Alt + Tab " to bring up focus of the various Avast tab
sheets.
3. Use the keys, "Control + tab" to jump through the different pages till
you arrive on "Mail Shield tab"
4. Tab over to "Expert settings" and press the spacebar.
5. In here uncheck the boxes that are checked which are the "Scan in-coming
and out-going" checkboxes.
6. Tab over to the OK button and press spacebar.
7. Press "alt + F4" to close out completely.
Note: As you are tabbing over to the "Expert settings button" you will also
see checkboxes offering you an option to "Stop checking and also checkboxes
to stop In-coming and Out-going mails", unchecking these will not work, you
must go into the expert settings area.

Subject: [vicsireland] message from avast.
Hi folks.
Over the weekend I obtained a copy of avast antivirus professional addition.
I have only downloaded and installed it yesterday afternoon and today, when
I went into my outlook express to check my email, I got a message that said
something like: you are trying to log on to your gmail account, please
disable your ssl, or something, so that avast can check your emails for
viruses.
Sorry that I can't be more specific than that.
I was wandering, how do I disable that function in outlook express and if I
do, does that mean that I will no longer be able to receive emails with
attachments?
I'm sorry if my questions seem stupid. It's just that I'm new to avast. I've
been using a different antivirus in the passed which I didn't find very
effective.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
All the best,
Maria.
