I may be mistaken, but it sounds like Sarah performed the following steps, witch does not disable your incoming or out going email scanner.
Instructions For Removing the Scan Message When Using AVG Free Eddition Note: Does Not Disable The Email Scanner At All this does not disable your virus scanner in any way. The only thing it does is turn off the notice that your emails have been scanned by AVG anti virus. 1. Open AVG, tab once to the control center button and tap space bar. 2. Use alt plus V to open the view menu and down arrow to the components submenu icon and then tap enter. 3. Down arrow to the email scanner icon and then tap enter. 4. Tab to the configure button and then tap enter. 5. Tab to and uncheck the two Certify mail checkboxes. 6. Now tab to the OK button and enter and then tab to the OK button again and enter. This should have eliminated the problem and you now can close AVG Free with alt plus F4. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] e-mail scanning ACutaly many people besides me suggest turning off the email scanner in any antivirus program. Feel free to scour the news groups about this, Now maybe I'm going off of old news but I do scann every day at 3 every morning when I'm sleeping. AVG managed to move one email i never got to the valt from a DBX file, I think. That's the only way I have found to get rod of the attachment bug that reers its head every once in a while. Thanks for saying I'm knoledgible, but i really don't think so. I thnk all of the people who have helped me learn said knoledge and I hope to put it to good use some day. SA&G : In a recent message, Sarah mentions turning off the e-mail scanning : feature of AVG. She indicated that the computer would scan : everything every day anyhow. I am a bit concerned about the : recommendation. : : 1. To assume that everyone has their task manager set up to scan the : "entire system" every day is a dangerous and probably incorrect : observation. Not every person has the time or inclination to allow : their AVG to perform that task. I agree that it is a good idea but : for some, it just isn't practical. : : 2. Allowing a vital part of your antivirus protection to be disabled : is, for most people, an extremely fool hardy thing to do. It doesn't : take much for something to get into your system and contaminate it to : the point that the computer might even stop working entirely. : Believe me people, I've been there. : : 3. Sarah is, based on her helpful suggestions and excellent grasp of : technology and software, a highly competent computer user. : Unfortunately, not all of us have her expertise. Whereas Sarah might : catch a contaminated file in time to deal with it, others might not. : We all can't even begin to compare to her knowledge and ability. : However, I must raise a serious objection to her last idea. In my : opinion, based on years of computer operation and many painful : experiences, no one should ever turn off their e-mail scanning for : any reason. : AVG examines each and every e-mail before it is allowed to be put : onto the hard drive for reading. That may take longer but it's worth : every second. AVG is, again in my opinion, a very reasonable piece : of software which works quite well with Jaws. AVG is no Cadillac and : has very little unnecessary program utilization. Okay, so maybe it : was originally stolen from other similar programs. For years now, it : has demonstrated remarkable efficiency in doing what it's supposed to : do. The original versions might have been derived from pirated : software as some have indicated, but it has gone far beyond those : early days. : : I apologize for the length of this message but I sincerely believe : that any part of that program should be allowed to continue to : function at full capacity. : : John Justice : John Justice : : My job feeds my family, music feeds my soul. : : PERSONAL E-MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: : http://www.jaws-users.com : Address for the list archives: : http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] : To post to this group, send email to : [email protected] : To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the : subject or body of a blank message to: : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Use the following form in order to contact the management team : http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php : If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to : the following address: : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/managers.php If you wish to join the Blind Computing list send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
