I too have been having pretty good time with my av combo,thanks to you for that post back about tinywall. Works great along with avast free version, haven't ran into any problems so far and seems to do a good job :) Passes the firewall test online and avast has blocked me from getting a infection a couple times the past couple months from some sites. IMO this is a very good combo for me and the avast scanner has found stuff in my pc in the past and removed it before. Also have malwarebytes on the side the free version which i scan with sometimes and it has found stuff my av has missed in the past but rarely. I'm usually pretty good at keeping my pc clean and rarely get infected,only happens in occasions but not often.
I have had an problem today with an email account being hacked. I noticed it because my inbox had 47 'Mail Delivery Failed' messages. I contacted the hosting company, who said I must a) given out my password, b) chosen a weak password, or c) got a virus. Well its a no to the first 2 and I doubted that it was a virus as I am so careful what I open etc. My security set up is MSE and Malwarebytes, which is the paid version running in protection mode, and is the same on my desktop and laptop. I carried out full scans on both pc's and nothing was picked up. Is it possible that these security programmes missed something? I thought that my combination was pretty secure.

Hi,
You have an excellent security system. Nothing, however, is infallible. For peace of mind, perform a full system scan using the ESET on-line scanner.
Post back if you need more help.

Hi Golden,
I ran ESET and it found nothing. Perhaps the hack was at the mail hosting end?
Yes, its possible. Have you tried to send an email through to the same address since contacting your ISP?
I can send and receive mail using that account with no problem. I did change all passwords as soon as I noticed the problem. Interestingly, all of the emails that I supposedly sent show different IP addresses in the information. If they had come from my PC, they would show that IP address.
Just the one address. There are 5 family accounts liked to the domain name, but mine is the only one affected. Additionally I have another domain and email account for business, which gets pulled in to Outlook, along with the family one and this was not compromised.
