Hi Lucia, First, Lynne and I both have had AVG virus protection for at least two years and have not had problems with it interfering with our sending and receiving of emails. secondly, for what it's worth, I think you should hire someone who is computer savi to check all of your settings to make sure they are appropriately set. Then, if they are, you know for sure the problem lies with the carrier.

Does this mean I have to change to Verizon? My problem is that I can not receive e-mail, I can only send. I am wondering if the antivirus software, AVG, is blocking out all my e-mail messages, seeing e-mail as a virus, or as spam. Can this be? Time-warner techsupport will not send a technician out to troubleshoot, nor will they help, over the phone. Last night, I got a technician who knew the menus. This was great, but even then, they won't send any one out. While I do n't expect any one to know JAWS, or any other adaptive speech software, they should know the menus. They do n't. This has been going on since October, 2008. On ElectionDay, after I gleefully voted for Obama, I called, since I had some time. Time-Warner's techsupport ended up transferring me to four people, who could be of no help. This happened again, back in December, when I tried to get help with this problem. I am seeking advice. Stay well and warm.
