Title: Request: port the ms outlook plugin to windows live mail
Post by: sw on September 16, 2010, 01:31:35 PM

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.
