activated, nothing I seem to do activates this, can anyone provide any
pointers?

What is your op system? I'm running XP Home, and it's working OK for me in
general.

What kind of network connection do you have? The default appears to be LAN,
but I have dialup, so edited that in the properties initially. I suppose
that's necessary, but didn't try it with LAN, so don't really know. I know
zilch about "networking".

What is your firewall? The email scanner requires firewall permission.

Are you talking about ordinary pop3/smtp? It scans all of my regular pop3
accounts OK, and my smtp account OK. But it does not scan hotmail (http) nor
gmail (SSL pop3/smtp) in OE. I recall reading in the FAQs or Help somewhere
that SSL requires manual rather than automatic setup, so I played around
with it for quite awhile, but couldn't get it working.

I think if you launch the AVG control center and then open the e-mail
screen, you should see an option at the bottom that asks if you want to
activate the e-mail scanning.

On one computer I looked at, the language wasn't selected in the
"Certification" section.
'E-mail Scanner', 'Configure', 'Details'.
Even though the "Certify mail" wasn't checked, it wouldn't function until a
language was selected.
