How to make AVG e-mail scanner functional with CPF

[Guest]

Hi,
From CPF version 2.2.0.11 onwards we have added a new option called "Skip advanced security checks" to an application rule's Miscellaneous section (This option will force CPF to skip leak checking on an application who has this option enabled.)
 AVG Email Scanner compatibility issue is solved when user selects this option with avgemc.exe.

Thankyou - this worked for me.

I have checked and rechecked this these settings and I still can't get this damn thing to allow AVG e mail scanner to scann incoming mail.  Ihave placed the check mark in skip advanced security checks;  Then browsed to AVGEMC.exe as the parent application.  in both parent and subparent.
The firewall is preventing the scanner from even connecting to the server.  It just runs and runs until it times out.  I don't have any idea what else to set or check.

CPF 2.2.0.11
AVG 7.1.394
Outlook Express 6.0

Someone please tell me EXACTLY what information to put in what lies and what all needs or doesn't need check marks in the miscellaneous settings please.

You messed up all rules. Delete all rules related to AVG and restart your computer. After the restart, CPF will ask you about AVG services. Allow and remember all of them.

After answering popups, go to Application monitor, double click on the rule for AVGMC.exe and select "Skip advanced security checks" option. Do this ONLY for AVGMC.exe. Dont play with parent application or with any other parameter.

"You application is AVGMC.exe".

Feel free to ask anything,

Thank you very much; I guess I finally have things set properly.  I sure don't have a clue what I had messed up but the scanner seems to be working properly now.

I have the "skip advanced security checks" parameter checked but the AVG email scanner goes inactive after a few minutes. I can restart the AVG Control Center and the scanner is reactivated but after a few minutes it goes inactive. I'm using Thunderbird 1.5.0.6 for my email.

I downloaded the Comodo Firewall v. 2.3.3.33 BETA after Zone Alarm and Bitdefender 9 antivirus had messed up the use of Thunderbird 1.5.0.6 as my e-mail client with Gmail acting as POP/STMP server.

I was advised to change because it was a known problem. From a discussion forum, I got to know that Comodo was about the best.

I went to the Comodo Forum to find out any user difficulties. I printed out the forum topic ‘How to make AVG e-mail scanner functional with CPF’ because I also had to change to AVG.

When I installed CPF, I followed the procedure from the reply egemen gave to gwhiz1time205.

It came clean but I have also had the problem reported by thomasjk. After a few minutes, the AVG tray icon popped this message: ‘E-mail Scanner is not fully functional’.

I had downloaded AVG Free Reference Guide to which referred.

From instructions there, I went to Application Monitor in CPF and added AVG Update downloader (avginet.exe). The problem was solved and the scanner became functional.

So thomasjk, voila!

The GUI of CPF is fantastic, the services it offers have been reviewed as outstanding; my short use confirms it, and above all it is FREE.

However, why two tray icons – Comodo Launch Pad and the Comodo icon? Increasing tray clutter? Please don’t. One is enough!

God bless you.

Hi and welcome,

With the stable release you can disable the launchpad icon.  All the Comodo apps used to be accessed through this, but now Comodo are giving each app their own icon.  You will have the choice to keep launchpad on its own or have the firewall icon on its own.

Again welcome to Comodo,
Mike

Thanks for the info. I did what you suggested but it still does not work properly. I still get the email scanner being disabled no matter what I do. I guess I'll go back to Zonealarm.

I have inadvertantly posted a problem elswhere and have come to this forum. Could anybody explain in simple terms what to do in AVG to solve the incombatibility problem. The solutions described here are technogarbage to me. What for instance is CPF.?
