If you are using a POP 3/ SMTP based e-mail client and there is a problem with e-mail delivering, or you need to disable the Personal E-mail Scanner for any another reason, follow these steps:
- open AVG - menu Tools - Advanced Settings
- navigate to E-mail Scanner - Servers
- POP3 - AutoPOP3
- disable the option "Activate this server and use it for receiving e-mail" - SMTP - AutoSMTP
- disable the option "Activate this server and use it for sending e-mail"
This way, incoming and outgoing messages will not be scanned any more. If you wish to enable the e-mail checking again, please enable the "Activate this server.." option for the required server ( POP 3 for incoming, and SMTP for outgoing e-mails).
