Okay folks , I need some help please.
I may be taking IT classes, just I am not to this part of studies yet.
XPPro
[Windoze firewall is OFF, all updates are current]
Dial Up ISP
Firefox
Thunderbird
Note: I have to use Outlook Express for some IT stuff, this I do access from home. Now when I have to access IT stuff via Internet Explorer - I use the College's Computers - just download to flashdive. Exceptions are for Critical Updates for at home...
Norton Internet Security [ which I have to disable to Access Cisco , and online course material]
Free Versions of :
AVG Antivirus (
www.grisoft.com), Zone Alarm, Spybot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware.
The problem occured when AVG sent out the last updates about a week ago.
Outlook Express:
The server responded with an error. Account: 'mail.outdrs.net (2)', Server: 'mail.outdrs.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR AVG POP3 Proxy Server: Cannot connect to the mail server!', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC90
Thunderbird:
The server responded with an error with POP3
Yes I went to AVG (
www.grisoft.com) forum. I did unintstall AVG. I re-installed AVG. I removed anyting AVG from ZA , them put them back in.
With AVG uninstalled - everything worked.
I'll be honest, I doubt I will renew my Symnatec, and never been a fan of McAfee. For some reason I prefer the AVG and others apps. Maybe it is the feeling of getting shafted for something I am not getting - and getting a more secure set up using the non, or less proprietary folks.
My next thought was to uninstall Symnatec/ Norton Internet Security. To see what that does.
Not sure what is best. AVG or Norton. Is running two AVG not needed, causing the problems?
Any ideas? I'd appreciate it.
