Avast Error/Warning?

AVASTI; Mail scanner warning
avasti will not be able to protect news (NNTP protocol)
-- Error 10022
Check if mail scanner (ashMailSv.exe) is not blocked by your personal
firewall
Question(2):
---What is this message saying in lay terms?
---Any suggestion as to what I should do to handle this problem?
Thanks,

It means that your Firewall is blocking the E-mail scanner for Avast from
checking the Messages you got, so if you have ZA try to open the control
panel and click on Program Control then in the right Hand/pane/window you
will see two Buttons menu:
Main | Programs

Program control Here you can Right click
Under Access on the Question Mark ( ? ) Avast! e-mail Scanner and select or
check Allow or Ask better Allow.
If not there then you can Add it by click the Add Button at the Bottom and
type the whole path like this or browse for it:
C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashMailSv.exe or ASHMAISV.EXE

I g=have this set to Medium

Automatic Lock
Turn ON

Hope this what you are after.
Let us know.
