Hi,

I am having a problem with avast whenever I am sending or receiving any email message. The problem started when I updated to 6.0.1000 version. I haven’t found the solution in avast help Centre. Do you know how to fix this problem?

Hello Dear,

It is not possible for Avast to cause problem. Avast Antivirus deletes files which have viruses. It does not clean the files, it just detects viruses and moves the file to a virus chest folder that is built in Avast for quarantined files.

I suggest you use Panda Antivirus 2013 Pro. It will guard against mail viruses, enable web safe searching, and much more. You can download it from this link.

Thanks.

Hello My Dear,

 

Dear software that is developed by the software engineers cannot make any problem. As you said, avast cannot make any problem. But it can solve the problems. It is possible that your viruses have stopped avast's working.

In fact, when we do not update our antivirus regularly then these problems occurred.

Now I have a solution for you.

Your avast has infected by the virus and has stopped working.

So you need to install new Antivirus software.

I suggest you to download and install McAfee antivirus.

It is new and having much energy to fight against viruses.

You can download it from this link.
