I'm running the Home version of Avast! (which by the way, I am pleased with -- earlier this week our work email server got hammered with the new MyDoom variant and by the time I got home, my home emailbox had numerous infected messages, which Avast! recognized because the virus definitions had been timely updated.)
Anyway, I am using both Outlook (for me) and Outlook Express (for my wife). It's a long story.
With Outlook, the application startup splash screen shows that the Avast! plugin is installed.
With Outlook Express, there is no such indicator of protection. How can I tell that Avast! is scanning the incoming and outgoing emails?
