PLZ can someone help,
« on: August 15, 2004, 06:29:17 PM »
hello all hope your having a good weekend,

Question(s) about AVAST antivirus

#1 know that Avast will scan for virus on the POP email,(outlook which I never use)but am wondering
DOES AVAST also scan yahoo email or must i set something up to scan yahoo email???

#2, Is there a way PLZ to set AVAST so that ""IF""
IF a suspected virus if found in an email, (no won't open it) that AVAST would show me a ????? maybe a popup or sound that say "potiential virus or infected email>>>
Thank U for the help, ""AA55US"

1] Yes Avast can scan Yahoo mail if you have paid for Yahoo (pop mail) If you have the free webmail there is no need to scan the emails since they are not on your system.

2] Depending on what version of Avast you have (home/pro) you have several options to tell Avast what to do if it finds a infected email.
