Email virus scan Outlook Express blocked

[conglebear]

When I load Outlook Express my AVG virus scanner is blocked by the firewall. How do I allow it to run?

Hi and welcome to the forums.
There is a known conflict between avg and cpf.Hopefully will be fixed soon.

This is a quote from egemen about this issue:

Hi Guys,

CPF and “AVG Personal Email Scanner”(only) have some compatibility problems. The other email scanner plugins of AVG like Outlook, Eudora seem working.

We are trying to find the exact cause of this issue. CPF does not block anything so we need to work with Grisoft to fix the issue.

Until we fix the issue, the only solution to this problem is to set CPF temporarily to “Allow All” mode while receiving the email or using other email clients (e.g. “Outlook” instead of “Outlook Express”).

Thank you for the cooperation,

Egemen

Hope this helps,
Mike

6/25 Just reloaded CPF version 2.2.0.11 and used the option “Skip advanced security checks” in both AVGEMC.exe and AVGCC.exe AND I STILL COULD NOT USE MY OUTLOOK EXPRESS EMAIL. What have I left undone ?

I also run AVG and use OE6 and the skip check works for me.

I looked through my application rules and I see that I use skip checking for “avginet.exe”
as well as for avgemc.exe. Perhaps you also need to specify skip checking for avginet.exe?

Also make sure you specify skip check on all the the occurrences of avgemc.exe you have in your application rules. I had 4 or 5 of them at one time. I found that skip checking was only needed on a couple of them although to be safe I checked them all. For some reason I only have 2 entries now.

Hope this helps you out.
