Title: Emails not being scanned
Post by: bgregory on September 01, 2012, 02:51:13 AM

I am using Avast 7.0.1466 and Outlook 2010.  When I look at the Mail Shield stats it shows no emails have been scanned.  This doesn't make since I usually get 10 to 15 on a daily basis and I have had Avast installed for 4 days now.  Any ideas?

If you are using Outlook then the avast Outlook Plug-in would be handling your email scanning from within Outlook and not the Mail Shield.

Is the avast Outlook Plug-in running in Outlook ?

It is now... didn't know it wasn't.  And by the way I tested it and it is scanning now.  Thanks you very much DavidR.  Much appreciated.
