I was wondering if Avast automaticly scans my MSN/yaho emails?

Lee, by now, avast! scans pop3/smtp/imap email accounts.
You can seach by Yahoo in the forums and you will find a lot of information about. I suggest YahooPops Windows 0.6 (http://switch.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/yahoopops/yahoopops-win-0.6.exe).

Sorry, I cannot give you more help as I'm not a yahoo user...

Hi, for Yahoo and MSN messenger protection you can use Instant Messaging provider in avast!. Simply check Yahoo and MSN in configuration dialog and avast! will protect you.

Here is the info for checking downloaded files in both msn and yahoo messenger.
Place the following into the line that requires the virus checking info:

"C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashQuick.exe"

This assumes that you installed avast! to it's default directory (Folder).
