You should /never/ use e-mail scanning in Outlook Express if you value your
messages. Turning off e-mail scanning is safe. See: Viral Irony: The Most Common Cause of Corruption. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/...ion.mspx#EOAAC And: http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 And this is from Symantec, but applies to all anti-virus programs. From: http://snipurl.com/bmf6 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. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Nigel Muris" wrote in message ... John, Your question is a bit ambigous. You should check incoming mail for viruses. You should check outgoing mail for viruses to stop them being passed on. Nigel "John Brown" wrote in message ... Should I set up AVG to check incoming and outgoing emails?...I seem to recall previous advice that this isn't necessary - but can't recall why? Thanks. |

As surprising and ironic as it may seem though, the most common cause of
Outlook Express corruption is not a virus, but rather anti-virus programs that are configured to scan incoming or outgoing e-mail.
