Bitdefender Defeats Pop3 And Smtp Server Connection

Have had BitDefender installed since September 2007 with same basic configuration on PC...


Just recently, between February 07, 2008 and March 08, 2008 a BitDefender update is causing


POP3 and SMTP e-Mail server connection errors. It refuses to check and download incoming mail, and blocks outgoing mail. Outlook Express has been the standby client for many years without any problems - so I'm not really entertaining focusing on OE as the problem - thanks in advance for that.


Seems Symantec/Norton had similar issues recently and fixed it with a patch for the time-being, and then later updates the problem simply disappeared.


Many thanks for constructive suggestions or corrections.

  • Hi,

    In Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition, I would very much like to know how to get around the blocking of SMTP from my locally installed Thunderbird email client.

    Thank you!

    Best regards,
