if you have Norton it will handle both email applications.

I am not sure why AVG free will not but I know that AVG 7.0 which I use has the option of 'Microsoft Outlook' or 'Personal Email Application' which is generic enough to handle 2 different applications and scan the email.

What happens is that AVG email scanner uses ports 5100 and 5101 from the POP and SMTP servers, regardlesss of the type of email client.

AVG 7.0, although a paid subscription is free for 30 days.

Why not give it a try and make a determination at the expiration of that period of time
