→AVAST: Added Avast 2015 information
== AVAST ==
Avast describe the cause thus "The Mail Shield in Avast 2015 uses advanced scanning method for incoming and outgoing e-mails over SSL/TLS secured connections", the reality is they perform a man in the middle hack of your connection using SSL certificates by making themselves a top level certifying authority. As Thunderbird like all quality mail client maintains it's own certificate store the Avast hack does not work. There are [https://www.avast.com/en-eu/faq.php?article=AVKB91#artTitle instructions on the avast site] explaining how to make then a trusted certifying authority.
''Anecdotal evidence only, no definitive testing has been done. Love if it if somebody could find the time to do some thorough AVAST and TB testing!
