I am running Windows ME, with Outlook Express/Internet Explorer 6 on a
Pent. II, 400 MHz machine, 30 Gig HD, 400 Meg RAM. Lately, when I boot
up, and click on Outlook it opens up and gets my mail. Same for
Explorer. But, after the machine has been on for a while, or I have
rechecked my mail several times, all of a sudden, I get an error
message when I try to get mail or go on the internet. (using verizon
DSL). The message says "Outlook Express", "The server responded with an
error, Account"incoming verizon.net,Pop 3, server response ERRAVG Pop3
Proxy server! Port 110 Secure (SSL) No, server error 0x800CCC90, error
number 0x800CCC90"
I tried to do a "Restore" but, all of a sudden, that's not working. I
tried to Remove/Repair Explorer, but, that doesn't even show up on the
ADD/Remove Software list anymore. I re-installed ME over the old
installation, (didn't want to reformat) and that didn't do any good.
Any one have any ideas?

Turn off email scanning in AVG, it serves no useful purpose.
Keep AVG updated and you will be as safe without it scanning your mail in or
outgoing.
