EWO Posted May 15, 2006 CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 On fresh start or restart, then check email, AVG Free seems to take forever to accept/check Hughes.net and Gmail.com - seems to fly thru Bellsouth.net. Have I miss a setting or something? Aggravating for it to sit there chomping on Hughes.net or Gmail.com and not checking my email. Is this normal? Perplexed!!!!!!

tommie gorman Posted May 15, 2006 CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 Like how long, for how many e-mails? Have you checked for updates.? Click on your toolbar AVG logo, and see if it says anything in red.

EWO Posted May 15, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 Sometime it might take 5 -6 minutes just for Hughes. Then when it clears each of my accounts I might not have any email at all. Checked updates a few days ago - will check again. Don't see AVG logo in toolbar Got AVG Logo in lower bar - right Checked AVG: Version 7.1.392 Virus Base 268.5.6/338 Release Date 5/12/2006 2:50:00 PM Nothing in red.

tommie gorman Posted May 15, 2006 CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 That was just a short cut to control center. Just open up AVG and click on control center. I have the same version. I think you need a fresh install. I have had to do this before. Mine got corrupted somehow.

EWO Posted May 15, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 Let me do a restart. When AVG is working on Hughes the is a small window in lower right corner. saying "Email Scanner, Autopop3 connecting to a numerical IP address. I'll get the address when I come back up. AVG Email Scanner AutoPoP3 : Connecting to edited out IP address The other AVG logo just spinning in bar. Could something be conflicting with it - like Norton Security Suite 2005 or others??

tommie gorman Posted May 15, 2006 CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 I hate saying this, but you may need to contact Hughes,net. Sounds a little like an e-mail problem. Unless you know more about setting up an e-mail. And I am not sure you want to post that number. It might link you, I am not sure. Mine has always had that box in the lower corner.

EWO Posted May 15, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 Once it gets them scanned no more hold-ups. When I check email all 4 accounts go thru with no problem. Don't have any problems with email only this delay with AVG on start-up or restart. It's just a waiting thing - thats all !!!

tommie gorman Posted May 15, 2006 CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 Everyone tells me that 2 or more Anti Virus's is not good. Can you turn off Norton and test sometime when you know there will be some e-mail. That will let you know if it is Norton.

EWO Posted May 15, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 I can do that. I use Incredimail which will let me look at server to see the header of any email there without downloading it. Plus I can delete it without download at the server. Will see what happens.

coknuck Posted May 15, 2006 CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 The only time mine did the pop up with the spinning logo was when the Insight servers were down or couldn't connect.

tommie gorman Posted May 15, 2006 CID Share Posted May 15, 2006 Yeah I enjoyed incredimail. But it kept giving me problems, so I quit using it. And I just leave my e-mail open when I am on the comp. Although the puppy was cute, and I liked the bounce thing also.

EWO Posted May 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 16, 2006 I've been using it about two years and my only problem has been getting all my email accounts up and running on Incredimail. It's a habit now. After my next restart I let you know if disable Norton works.
