Hi all,
So I’ve been having trouble with my email sending out spam, basically the whole reason I even got Avast, but I can’t quite figure out how to enable the Mail Shield? The picture is what it looks like on my screen. It says no files have been scanned and I can’t find settings anywhere. Could somebody please help me? :-\
PS: I have the Avast! Free Antivirus. If that helps with anything.

What are the mail scanner settings?
Did you put a checkmark in front of scanning outbound mail?
What email client do you use?
Are you using ssl?
Have you run a online scan for malware?

Mailshield sure can scan outbound mail.

Are you aware, that you are in the Mac forum here? The Mac version really has no
outgoing mail traffic scan, it was explained several times here in the Mac section.
In general please note, that the Windows and Mac version of avast! are in fact two
completely different peaces of SW, so advises for Mac users based on the Windows
version of avast! (like in this thread) are very often wrong.
