Sorry to be paranoid and ask for extra confirmation on this, but I want to
be absolutely sure. I read this post yesterday:
Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems
such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program
will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Personally, I use AVG Free for my anti-virus program, and it hasn't let me
down yet, and I have had it for two years.

I have AVG Free, too, and just turned off the e-mail scanner, and AVG
complained, saying the E-Mail Scanner is not fully functional.
From what Bruce wrote in his post, this should be okay. Do I have it right?
Thanks,
John
