Under the email scanner tab:
Be advised this area is only needed If you use an applicable email client, Supported
clients are MS Exchange, MS Outlook and Qualcomm Eudora . Note: If you use a different
e-mail program other than those supported, the error message on the button may read
'Non-Functional', because you are using an e-mail client not currently supported by AVG.
Support for additional e-mail programs are being added all the time, so be sure you have
the latest AVG updates. If you are using another client see No email scan (information
below)
Check and certify are two different items in the email scan section. Both are user
determined.
Check incoming or outgoing emails will enable AVG to scan your emails as they are
sent/received.
Certify incoming or outgoing emails will enable AVG to add a Notation to all emails
that it was indeed scanned for known virus
Under the advanced tab you can decide what and when to scan and how to certify.
Options include scan/certify only emails with attachments (as opposed to all
emails including plain text emails that can delay email processing)
Notification can be used to pop up a dialog to warn of incoming/outgoing infections
as well as ability to enable sound as a warning. This is user determined.
Certification tab you can edit/change the incoming outgoing certification notice that
is added to affected emails (depending on previous attachment settings). This can be
changed to anything desired such as (but not limited to) "This email has been scanned
with AVG and presumed virus free. Be sure to double check it yourself for verification!"
No email scan:
If you choose not to use the email scan or use an email client that is not compatible,
disabling the email scan will help reduce resources used by AVG
