Questiong regarding Avast Internet Security - email settings.

Hello! :slight_smile:

First of all; hello everyone. Just got here on the forums. :slight_smile:

Anyway, my problem is when I shall set up configurations on the e-mail settings on the Avast Internet security… I have no idea what the settings is supposed to be! I use hotmail on the internet, not Outlook.

I am grateful for every answer and the help I get!

I use hotmail on the internet, not Outlook.
avast does not scan webmail....no AV does

Microsoft protect all Hotmail / Livemail accounts with Trend Micro on there mail server

No need to configure the Mail-Shield, if you only use Hotmail on the net.

Well, it should be able to. Microsoft can’t do it for you on the internet-based mail.

What do you mean…??

Microsoft IS doing it…all mail are scanned before you recive it
