Also, if you are using AVG for your anti-virus and have e-mail scanning
enabled, that can cause the issue as well. Normally, I would just say to
turn off the e-mail scanning feature. 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. However, with AVG you need to remove and
reinstall AVG and choose Custom Mode. Uncheck E-mail Scanning when you
see
that option. For some reason, just unchecking it in the security center
causes a conflict with the Windows Security Center.

Other than this, AVG is pretty good, but you might want to experience
Avast.
I recently switched to it from AVG.

In the case of Avast, choose Custom Installation and under Resident
Protection, uncheck: Internet Mail and Outlook/Exchange.

Incoming email from Outlook Express contains the attachment icon, but
no
attachments exist. Any ideas? This just started. The only recent
changes
I've made were to uninstall AVG Virus; install, and then uninstall,
McAfee
Virus; and then install AVG.
