Slingshot.co.nz doesn't seem to have much of their connection information
available on the internet. You may have to go to other company's sites
to find much of it, such as these:
http://www.zeald.com/Resources/Email+Accounts.html http://www.compserv.co.nz/ispinfo/ispinfo.htm
It's often recommended here that if you used a standard install for
avast!, you uninstall it and do a custom install that tells it to leave
out the part that scans email.
