Hello people. I have a little question. I have AVG Internet Security 8.5.409 installed, this includes "E-Mail Scanner" feature. My turned off, and I don't know how to turn it back on.

The email scanner is for a POP3 email client like, as it says, Outlook or say Firefox's Thunderbird.

It won't work on web based email like say Hotmail or Yahoo Ilya.

what if you have you e-mails go through microsoft outlook, would AVG then be able to scan them?

Open "How to deactivate the AVG Personal E-Mail Scanner", then read the bottom paragraph carefully.
