The AVG antivirus was from my in/out email scanning system.
The original email did not have any AVG stuff
except what my system placed on it.
You should turn it off... it's pretty irritating :-)
Are you saying I should turn off my Anti-Virus protection?
Turn off my system that makes sure the email coming in
are not infected and the email I send are not infected?
Do you know how many email people receive each year that has
an infection? I get plenty of them. And once from this list.
It may be irritating to some, but it is better than getting an
infection via email you open.
I have Hardware firewall through my router, and software
firewall via ZoneAlarm. I have anti-virus via AVG. I have
several other security programs running all the time. Since
then, I have never got an infection. I can even download an
infection and it is automatically cleaned or healed and
then I am warned about it.
So no one should turn off their computer's security protection.
Definitely nobody should turn the protection off! But AVG has some
setting options for whether to insert its own messages into incoming and
outgoing mail, and for some unknown reason they are both on by default.
You can turn them off by deselecting the "Certify" options under Tools >
Advanced settings > E-mail Scanner, while leaving the "Check" options
selected, and that's what was being recommended.
