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

AVG tends to nag you if you just turn off the email scanner. But if you
also uncheck the "plug-in" box the nag will go away.

Thanks! It worked perfectly, as you said.

I have installed AVG on a lot of machines now and I use the "custom"
installation and uncheck the email scan. Then it does not nag the user.
AVG's email scanning is not only unnecessary, but it slows down the email
program significantly on dial-up connections and it adds an attachment to
every message. The attachment being the simple statement that this email
was scanned with AVG.

Thanks to you and all the others.

John
