As far as i know, avast does not seem to be scanning windows live mail using mail shield. Thus I would like to request avast to make a plugin for windows live mail, just like for microsoft outlook.
Thanks to the dev team in advance.
Windows live mail use Delta Sync to comunicate with the mail server and as far as i know, no AV is scanning that… ???
