Re: Lost POP3 settings after restart

Reinstall AVG and choose Custom Mode. Uncheck E-mail Scanning when you see that option. For some reason, just unchecking it in the security center causes a conflict with the Windows Security Center.

Make sure you reboot when you're done.

The email scanner in AVG Free has been disabled for some days now. But the
problem persists. I can see the reasoning in the replies I have received, and
I can see now why the one account that does not change, is one to which no
emails have been sent. I do not have any problems in downloading mail, but
only can receive after I have reset the POP3 settings back to normal.

Your Anti-virus (or anti-spam) software changes the POP3 server name to
127.0.0.1 in order to scan the e-mail as it downloads. If this prevents
you from downloading mail, then that software is malfunctioning. Check
with that software manufacturer for update or configuration help, or
disable that software from scanning e-mail.

As long as your anti-virus software is set to scan files as they are
opened, scanning e-mail as it downloads is unnecessary and prone to
problems.
