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
=====================
Have now disabled the AVG e-mail scanning...
...however I notice there is another bit of AVG currently disabled on
my setup - called LinkScanner component. Would you know if that is
correct and I should have this disabled?...the details say...Link
Scanner works with Internet Explorer and consists of two features, AVG
Active Surf-Shield and AVG Search-Shield...
Thanks, John

Are you using Version 8? I never played with it and it might differ some
with previous versions.
Did you reinstall in custom node as recommended, or just uncheck e-mail
scanning? If you didn't, I would reinstall. It only takes a few minutes.

Yes, V8.
Yes just unchecked e-mail scanning....
You suggest reinstalling - why?...all I wish to know is if its best to
have LinkScanner checked or unchecked if anyone has views?
If you just unchecked e-mail scanning, then I can't answer you question
about the LinkScanner. It was not an option in previous versions that I
have used and I now use Avast. I have no knowledge of changes made in V:
8 over V: 7.5.
