The screenshot that you displayed is similar to what I see on my computer. When I click on the Avast icon in my system tray I get the “avast! On-Access Scanner” with four choices. The Outlook/Exchange option offers the Resident task settings when clicking Customize, but with a different heading then you show. I do not have the SMTP box, nor the POP or IMAP. I have Scanner, Inbound Mail, Outbound Mail, Signatures, and Virus Storing. All the boxes in the scanner section are checked. Hope I am not making this more complicated then it should be. Thanks, Jim.
