Blocking outgoing Outlook account

[MarkGalen]

Hi

Had an automatic protection not working issue after booting up yesterday (I assume a Windows update had given it a problem). Downloaded updated version of software & it cleared that problem.

A few weeks ago I found the software had blocked outgoing emails from 1 of my Outlook accounts which I had dealt with easily enough by adding the details of the smtp. account to the exclusions list.

Today, having reinstalled, it's doing it again. However this time even though I've added both the smtp account name and it's IP address to the exclusions list - it's still blocking outgoing emails.    

What should I go to get my email working again?

Thanks. M

Last step.

1. After downloading the tool run the tool.

2. The tool will automatically clean up the older possibly damaged installation and will ask you for a restart.

3. Restart your system and then the MB-Clean tool will prompt you to re-install the latest product.

4. Click on "Yes" to reinstall MB 3.×.

5. Now you will have the latest product installed.

 If it does not offer the new install after the reboot you can download and install from here.
