AVG & Thunderbird

[BrianE]

Hi All,

I use Thunderbird for mail and ng's and AVG as a virus checker.

Are these two programs compatible as I never seem to see any
messages on
my outgoing or incoming mail?

Cheers

Messages?

Messages?

Sorry, dumb of me. I'm not certain whether AVG is actually
working with the e-mail application,

(perhaps it doesn't need to) . Whereas you'd get some kind
of info from Norton it all seems
too quiet with AVG. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: resident shield should offer adequate protection provided
you don't go looking for trouble.

I have used AVG for the last several years and have *never* suffered
from malware of any kind.

A big part of that lies in practicing safe-hex, naturally.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that they aren't out to get
you. }:O)

You need the AVG Personal E-Mail Scanner which is here:
http://www.grisoft.cz/beta/avgemc/avgemc_en.htm

This is an external utility that enables scanning of email by AVG
outside the AVG plugins for Eudora and such. People use it with
Pegasus, and other email clients.

Thanks Richard, going there right now.
