Hi I’m in the UK and have recently found Avast with which I am really pleased thanks Alwil for providing it free for home users!
The only question I have is will Avast scan downloads from Emails (from AOL) or other sources as they download ?
Many thanks for you help in advance

If AOL is a “SMTP/POP3/IMAP4” protocal, the it will be scanned by avast Internet mail provider (automaticly set up in win2000/xp).
Otherwise avast standard shield will scan them while your reading/viewing your mail.

Thanks Lee!

Ofcourse, but only if you setup Avast correctly. start reading the help/manual and make yourself familiar with the options Avast has.

It’s almost guaranteed that AOL will scan them also! :wink:

Conspiracy theories aside!
