Click in the box to remove the check mark next to "Certify mail" under both the
"Check incoming" and "Check outgoing mail" headings. Why? If these checks are not
removed AVG adds a short statement at the end of any e-mail you send and receive.
The statement will be similar to the following:
"No virus found in this incoming message.
Checked by AVG Free Edition.
Version: 7.5.488 / Virus Database: 269.13.32/1033 - Release Date: 9/27/2007 11:06 AM"
It is my opinion that you don't want to advertise the specifics of what type of
antivirus application you use. This information could be used by a malicious
individual to target your computer by exploiting some aspect of the design of your
antivirus software. There are examples of computer viruses (worms) that target
and disable the antivirus software installed on the infected computer.
While you have this dialog box open I also suggest you ensure a check mark is next
to "Use heuristic message filter", "Remove attachments" and "Remove all executable
files". Click the "OK" button to save your settings. E-mail file attachments will
now be scanned more thoroughly. Read my article/tutorial on how to
"Improve E-mail Security" to learn more about
scanning/filtering e-mail file attachments.
