[Simply Computers] Avast says disable SSL/TLS

 

I started using Avast on the advice of members of this group. I'm liking it
a lot better than Avira.

Avast has been installed for a couple weeks now, and when I open Outlook, I
see the Avast box pop up briefly telling me it will scan my email, so I know
it's been working. Today, however, when I reopened Outlook after it froze
(very rarely does that; it's version 2002), I got the following warning:

"Avast! has detected a secure connection from your mail program (process
OUTLOOK.EXE) to the SMTP server 74.125.127.109 (gmail.com). This type of
connection cannot be checked for viruses. Please disable SSL/TLS in your
mail client so that the Mail Scanner can scan your mail. The Mail Scanner
will provide the SSL/TLS security itself."

Should I follow this recommendation?

Thanks, SB
