Email scanning in any antivirus must be disabled, for reasons
explained here:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Email Scanning has never given me any problems.
This fuss about the supposed evils of email scanning is a tempest in a
teapot as well as bum dope.
I keep email scanning on for both send and receive and have an extra layer
of protection...
If others want to strip off that layer of protection that's their loss --
and their problem, when something goes wrong.
AND I don't send out infected files to my contacts.
Benefits All Around...
For Both Me & My Correspondents.
It's quite foolish not to email scan if your AV/IS software incorporates
that feature -- and I wouldn't want a program that did not have it.
I don't want the virus, trojan, worm, or whatever, to even GET to my hard
drive unannounced -- much less for me to open it.
Further, email scanning doesn't slow me down at all.
Emails open quickly and securely in Outlook Express, Outlook, Windows Live
Mail, Thunderbird and Forte Agent.
