Test Avast and Thunderbird

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

Is there a way to make sure Avast and Thunderbird are working together.
What I mean will Avast catch a virus while I use Thunderbird as an email client?

2

Sure. They work great together.

You can look under the Mail Shield tab and see a count of the messages scanned and the subject of the last email scanned by Avast! to insure they are working together properly.

OK
Thanks

Is your email system secure against email viruses and attacks?

The most deadly viruses, able to cripple your email system and corporate network in minutes, are being distributed worldwide via email in a matter of hours (for example, the LoveLetter virus). Email worms and viruses can reach your system and infect your users through harmful attachments. But that’s not all! Some viruses are transmitted through harmless-looking email messages and can run automatically without the need for user intervention (like the Nimda virus). Are you covered against such threats?
