Title: Avast is blocking outgoing email
Post by: artbuc on April 04, 2015, 03:00:50 AM

Just installed free 2015 Avast on my SIL's rig. Set it up just like mine which runs great. However, after install cannot send emails from Win Live OR from her iPad. I can understand that Avast could interfere with Win Live as there are many reported cases. But, how could Avast on her PC possibly affect her iPad mail account? Could there be something associated with SSL happening at her router? This problem seems restricted to her Verizon email account as I can add my Verizon email account to her iPad and it works fine through her router. I plan to disable the Avast Mail Shield to see if that helps. Then I will unistall Avast and go back to MS Essentials. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
