e-mail scanning in AVG

Leave it off, but............
Reinstall AVG and choose Custom Mode. Uncheck E-mail Scanning when you see
that option. Just unchecking it in the AVG Security Center usually causes
a conflict with the Windows Security Center.
Turning off e-mail scanning is safe. See:

Is my computer still protected against viruses if I disable Email
Scanning?
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email
and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of
this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection,
keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you
have the most recent virus definitions.

I have the e-mail scanning function in AVG switched off...I seem to think
I was advised that this was OK when using Windows XP and Outlook express.
Is that correct or should I enable it?
