Hi latenight
The mail protection wizard shortcut only appears in the avast! menu for OSs for which it is required.

Extract from avast! 4.8 help:
"MS Outlook or Exchange clients are automatically protected by avast! and there is no need to set anything. To protect other e-mail clients, like Outlook Express or Eudora, it is necessary to change some settings to make the mail protection fully functional.
This is true up to avast! 4.5. If you use avast! 4.5 or newer and your operating system is Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista or 2008, you don't have to do any special settings, even for other email clients. avast! 4.5 features a new method of email protection that is very easy for the user - it works completely automatically."


If you are using 9X or ME and it's missing from the menu, you can run it at "C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashPopWz.exe" and/or create you own menu shortcut.

If i use Outlook Express then should i unclick the box next to the statement, like the instruction in the HELP section says,  "not allowed to save and open if the attachments infected"?...

Which is your operational system? Windows 98?
