Has anyone else had POP3 connect issues with the email scanner in AVG
7.5 and Thunderbird and Outlook? I randomly getting messages from these
programs that say they can't communicate with my POP3 server.

The way I get around this is to DISABLE the email scanner in AVG 7.5 and
then re-enable it. I don't have to re-boot. Then it works just fine.

My OS is XP Pro w SP2.

This is annoying. I just wanted to know if I am not the only one seeing
this problem. Thanks...

There is no need to have your a-v program scan Incoming or Outgoing
email. As long as you have the resident program running, it will prevent
you from executing any virus-laden file (that it knows about).

All modern viruses have their own built-in SMTP engines, and will
quietly spew in the background while your computer is not busy.

I see many posts in my ISP's local newsgroups asking why (usually McAfee
or Norton) screws up their mail sending. Turn off the scan, and the
problem disappears.

I guess if I don't need email scanning, then why am I using it...good
point! I'll turn the darn thing off! Thanks...

Easier said than done. Every time I boot-up, it re-enables itself.

How do I turn off the email scanning so it stays off?

This would be a question for AVG, its Help file, or perhaps another user
of the product can chime in here.

My current a-v application has no problem keeping unselected options
off. (Avast)
