I posted this on the AVG Forum on their website
Thanks for the gift, but AVG free edition is one horse I'm going to look
in the mouth.
I found after installing it, as soon as I opened any email client (OE6 or
Pimmy) my dial-up connection would start in the background without a sign.
The only hint that something was happening was the sound of my modem and a
window above the Systray that ays "AVG E-mail Scanner" and an IP number.
I understand that AVG serves as a go-between but it needs to learn when to
prompt. To disable this was hidden, to say the least.
1st - find AVG control center - which no longer shows in the System tray
at startup.
- once you locate it, open it and select Email Scanner
- then click "properties
- click properties in the next window as well
- select the "servers" tab (enough to scare any novice away)
- under proxy select "Pop3 - host:automatic"
- select "modify"
- chose USER/COMPUTER (who knows why?????????)
- click "OK"
- click "OK"
- click "OK"
12th - close AVG control center
The other thing: how on earth dowes one make the "AVG E-mail Scanner"
window disappear from above the System tray??
And the next thing is I can't send massages with attachments. I get a nice
message from AVG for Email <avgmail@localhost> saying the message could not
be delivered, "connection timed out." Yeah right! So I disable "check
outgoing mail". Then what's the point??
->:-((
apologies for all the grumbles. But I'm feeling grumbly.
