Hello! I want to know if I can configure Avast Internet Security to scan my incoming and outgoing emails of Windows Live Mail
Which makes perfectly with Outlook, but this program is very slow and I hate! :-X
-
Windows Live Mail uses a particular protocol of communication that cannot be scanned by avast (I think).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeltaSync
The http (internet) traffic could be scanned by WebShield.

But, Outlook and Windows Live Mail use the same "DeltaSync" ; it is illogical that if Avast can scan Outlook, but Windows Live Mail not
-
It isn't illogical, as avast has a plug-in within the Outlook client, so the AV is effectively operating from within MS Outlook and not from outside Windows Live Mail and as such can't/doesn't understand the proprietary "DeltaSync" protocol.

I have been using Windows Live Mail for a While and Avast 5 checks incoming and outgoing e-mail without problems... I use pop in all my accounts.
When I set Avast 5 to tell me if it checked my e-mail it writes the msge. that has been scanned by Avast.
Is Avast checking my windows live mail or not?
-
It shows if mail is scanned under shields>mail shield, last mail scanned
-
Yes it shows that...
