Outlook Email Scanner

I am using Bitdefender Total Security 2010. Since installing it, my Outlook 2007 does not show the progress of the downloading emails. It only updates the progress bar once an entire message has been downloaded. This becomes a problem when I receive large emails, as outlook times out. I have increased the timeout in outlook, so the emails do download, but it would be better if I could see the progress of downloading emails.

I also have a client that uses Bitdefender Client Security on their 80 PCs, all of which have the same problem.

Is there anything that I can do to resolve this?

Thanks!

Hello sgoodbrand,

Just in testing purpose we would like you to follow the steps bellow :

1. Open BitDefender in Expert Mode, click on the Antivirus module and under the Shield tab, click on the Custom Level button. Here uncheck the option "Scan incoming emails" then click on Ok.

2. Check if the same issue occurs.

3. Now, click on the Antispam module and disable it . Look if the same issue occurs and let us know the results.

Hi Alex

I have done as you suggested. I disabled the Scanning of incoming emails first, then disabled the anti-spam module. It still does not update the message download progress bar.

I have also installed 2009 Total Security and that does the same thing.

After rebooting my PC with both the Incoming mail scanner and the Anti-spam disabled, the progress bar started working.

I have tried enabling them one at a time, but as soon as I enable one of them the progress bar stops updating.

Is there a way to resolve this issue without having to disable them?
