Is there really no way that Avast Mail Shield can protect SSL emails? AVG provides a way. Why not Avast?
yes it can …if you sett it up correct
meaning you let avast handle the SSL/TLS connection and not the mail client
and we have told you this before …and how to do it http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=102712
Thanks Pondus. Sorry to be thick. Just not certain that Mail Shield actually scans SSL emails for malware.
It seems that I had it working correctly in the first place but was just not sure about malware protection.
you can test your E-mail scan here http://www.aleph-tec.com/eicar/index.php
but if there is a virus scanner on the mail server …it will be detected and removed and avast will never see it
