This really isn't the right place for it, but...
* Avast is effectively trying to eavesdrop on your connection
* TLS is designed to prevent exactly this from happening
* To get around this, Avast would have to perform a man-in-the-middle
attack, or act as a proxy for your mail client. I can think of ways this
is *possible*, but it would never work in practise.
Avast should have a way to disable this behaviour ("mail scanning"), I'd
be surprised if it didn't.
