Disable The AVG Mail Scanner

A short URL for this page is this: http://tinyurl.com/9966x

AVG's mail scanner only works when you have an unencrypted connection to your mail server over a normal port. Many people have problems with this limitation and would like to disable the mail scanner. Don't worry, you're still safe as long as the "AVG Resident Shield" is still working. Here's how:

• Right click on the little AVG icon in your system tray next to the clock. It's a square with a color in each corner (yellow, black, green, red).
• Click "Launch AVG Control Center".
• Double click "E-mail Scanner"
• Make sure "Ignore plugin status" is checked.
• Click "Disable Plugin".
• Click OK
• Close the AVG control Center.

Edit: I just never install it under a custom program install... RG
