eMail Scans show nothing!

Hi There,
Believe it or not…I unistalled Avast and re-booted the iMac… NOW I am getting the updates!

Now I am getting eMails which I never did before… Thanks for that, WHEW! One last problem that you guys/gals

have to look after. When I go to my Mail Shield… “Total Scanned” shows me “0”

Seems to me that Avast is not scanning my emails, I wonder why not, and what can I do to fix it?

I have Maverick with the latest updates and lots of memory but this is NOT good. Can you help?
Thank you
