Mail Shield

Does it only work with the Pro Version of Avast? It shows that it’s running on my computer but it has never scanned any mail.

No, it works on all versions.

I’m guessing you check your mail on the internet ? if so then avast does not scan email providers -( Hotmail, Yahoo mail, Gmail etc ) you are required to have an email client ( Thunderbird etc ) installed upon your system for avast to scan your mail.

Those are the 3 email addresses I use. I have an email account with Xfinity, which is my ISP but I’ve only used it once.

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

The mail shield is for pop mail. Does not work with web based email.

Thank you. Don’t have pop mail.

When ever I install Avast I use the custom install and uncheck the mail shield. I use Outlook.com. Yahoo scans your attachments with Norton.
