For some time now many of my emails are displayed with the attachment icon
when the message contains no attachment. Not all emails have this problem. Messages with attachments always have the icon. Thoughts? Opinions? PJB |

1. Uninstall AVG Free anti-virus. 2. Reinstall AVG Free | Do a CUSTOM install and opt-out of installing Email Scanner module. Email Scanning provides no additional protection, it's causing the behavior you're seeing now, and even Symantec says it's not necessary: QP 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. /QP http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...02111812533106 -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Desktop Experience - since 2002 AumHa VSOP & Admin http://aumha.net DTS-L http://dts-l.net/ PJB wrote: For some time now many of my emails are displayed with the attachment icon when the message contains no attachment.

![]() 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.
