Do you think it's a genuine message, or could it be spam?richard wrote:I'm currently getting an AVAST threat detection message BUT only when I open the HHAD thread 'Tom Yum Kung. It started occurring after GLCQ's post regarding spam and chips etc
Any idea why?

GLC's image is hot-linked to an infected site - it is not the forum.

Re: The Digital Surgery
Hope someone can help with this.
I just changed to True as my ISP.
I use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email client.
I've entered mxauth.truemail.co.th as my default outgoing server (SMTP).
However, whenever I try to send an email from any of my accounts, it will not connect to the SMTP sever or times out.
The automatic port setting for the SMTP in Thunderbird was 1. I've changed this to 25 on True's advice.
The SMTP settings in Thunderbird are currently
Description: True
Server name: mxauth.truemail.co.th
Port: 25 Default:587
Connection security: none
Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely
User name: blank
Any idea on how I can get this working?
It's a pain using webmail when you regularly use 4 different email accounts in different domains.
Forgot to mention - there is no problem at all with incoming mails

Re: The Digital Surgery
Have you tried using your own domain to send?
mail.mydomain.com, port 3535.
mail.mydomain.com, port 3535.

That will be your email password.

Re: The Digital Surgery
Try experimenting turning some of the security options on and off, Thunderbird is very fickle with SMTP setups.
I have several accounts setup, some using SSL/TLS, some using none, some use my own domain to send, some use TOT, and some use Gmail SMTP server which is also worth a try if you have an account:

Re: The Digital Surgery
About two months ago I switched from McAfee to Avast antivirus and certainly my initial thoughts was that it was a much better product. For about two weeks now, every time I switch my laptop on I get a warning message "your Virus definitions are out of date - you should update them". At first I religiously went through the motions of opening up avast and updated the settings, set it to automatically update, but next time I switch the laptop on I get the same message. Has anybody else experienced this or know how to resolve the problem? Many thanks
Re: The Digital Surgery
I would just download and reinstall it.
