That's semantics - either are "Malicious" emails (Phishing are the new "Viruses" - or sometimes just a precursor). Most "malicious email" scanners now include "phishing" in their realm of responsibility. Bottom line: You need to run a "scanner", it will find malicious emails, whether you technically would consider them viruses, Trojans, phishing URLs etc.
What's bad is, if the scanner suddenly stops working for 2 months. Specially with those really bad Trojans going around 4 weeks ago. So - either AVG had an update to their interface, and it took Declude until now to finally catch up - OR, Declude introduced a bug 2 months ago. I haven't seen an explanation on how this could have happened and go unnoticed until I finally persisted.

Never noticed. On my end AVG is superfluous behind Alligate. We just do not see a virii leakage. We run ClamD for phishing and I do not see in its logs any virus captures. -Nick _____ From: "David Barker" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 3:50 PM To: [email protected], [email protected] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Upgrade 4.6.35 AVG not scanning - FIX If your AVG is not scanning emails, please upgrade immediately to 4.6.35 which is available from the Declude website.
