Hello wamgco,
this situation is caused by using incorrect AVG E-mail Scanner plugin in relation with used e-mail client - with Outlook Express is needed to use Personal E-mail Scanner.
See this AVG FAQ for more information.
What is the current situation?
Thank you
Gooday. I have updated my avg to 10.0.1170 and now there is no box telling download percentage and no scan message on emails. When I click on the email scanner it says installed email protection - microsoft outlet. I am using outlook express. I have a dell inspiration 1150 laptop, xp professional. There is no other anti virus programs on the laptop. Any ideas. Warren.
