No. You should never use e-mail scanning with OE regardless of the program.
And with AVG, it is advisable to install it in Custom Mode and opt out of
e-mail scanning at that point. You may end up with a conflict with the
Windows Security Center otherwise.

Hi just installed AVG antivirus free software...should I set it to scan
incoming e-mail messages or is this not necessary with OE?
Thanks, John
