Mail Washer has been running fine for a while now but after I installed Avira Speed Up as far as I know it was about this time mail washer will not highlight emails in green anymore?

If there is a way to restore the files Avira Speed Up removed, then that might work.
Otherwise you'll need to retrain MailWasher on which emails are good/bad. I would also set Avira Speed Up to ignore MailWasher, or have it ignore the folder manually at C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Roaming\Firetrust\MailWasher\
Sadly these programs that claim to clean up aren't careful enough, we've had problems in the past with kinds of these utilities.

It uses a combination of user defined filters, spam databases and Bayesian filtering. The filter works on a small portion of each email, and then allows unwanted emails to be directly deleted from the user's POP3 inbox, without downloading them to the email client on the user's computer.
