Stopping the following Service and configuring it not to load at startup
should disable AVG's email scanning...

AVG E-mail Scanner (AVGEMS)

....but I can assure you that doing so will make your AVG icon in
Notification Area grayed-out and Security Center will protest about it until
you either re-enable the Service or uninstall AVG and do a custom reinstall,
opting out of installing the Email Scanner.

That may work but it leaves you with a bloated install of AVG Anti-Virus.

May I just say that, rather than reinstall AVG to forego email
scanning, I rightclicked My Computer and selected Manage/Services &
Applications/Services and disabled it there. I did this ages ago and
have not had any problems...

If the message contains any HTML and you are reading in Plain Text,
you will see the paper clip.

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.

I use XP SP2 and IE7 with OE6. I am getting emails which in the top
part of the page - where each email has a line comprising from
,subject, sent - it also has an attachment symbol, the paper clip,
but there is no attachment in the message header in the bottom
preview pane, or when I open it. What is going wrong here? I
assume the symbol should only appear in the line at the top part of
the page if there is an attachment for that message. Other messages
I have received have the same symbol on their line and there is an
attachment in their case.
