e-mail scanning in AVG
 
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?

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:

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email:

Turn off email scanning in your antivirus softwa

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.
