Email scanner error? 1

[RSSTi]

Since i started using the new 7.5 AVG i've been having a problem with the email scanner bringing up a box that contains multiple connections, it looks something like this:

autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX
autoConnected:toPOP3OP3.XXXX.XX.XX

and so on. It normally does this three times then returns to normal....then later does this all over again. It slows down my PC noticeably.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird.

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a sollution for it?

Yes I have seen this, I don't know the cause but I suspect a race condition with a firewall.
AVG trying to connect faster than the firewall will allow.

For me it happens only rarely, so I can live with it.

I started using Comodo about the same time the new AVG was released. Perhapes there is an issue there.

Per AVG's forums, this is a known issue with a resolution from comodo.

My problem was caused by my COMODO firewall. This is the fix as provided by COMODO

From CPF version 2.2.0.11 onwards we have added a new option called "Skip advanced security checks" to an application rule's Miscellaneous section (This option will force CPF to skip leak checking on an application who has this option enabled.)
AVG Email Scanner compatibility issue is solved when user selects this option with avgemc.exe.
