You don't need to virus check more than once a day. I have mine check at 6:40AM.  |
Just a quick note - your "test" for the email function is only valid in the free version - if you have a paid version of AVG, the email footers are removed. AVG has different email protectors - I'm using the "Personal Email Scanner" with Thunderbird and seems to work pretty well - it also has an outlook plugin (which I cannot vouch for as I don't have outlook configured...).
If you have it (the email option) installed and running, you get a little popup above the windows status area (right side of the start bar) when your email program does a "get" mail.
