Yep.

I consider it only to be beaten by the paid for NOD32. And only by a tiny bit even then.

Avast FTW!

Do you have a SMTP server at home on the LAN?

Nope, it just shuts me out of my ISP SMTP server and I can't send any mail until I close it. It will be perfectly ok, then one day it does this. I have tried it several times on different PCs and always the same.

I guess it is just some obscure bug.
