04122 How to deactivate the AVG Personal E-mail scanner?
If you are using a POP3/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 the AVG Control Center program -> double-click on the "E-mail scanner" component -> select "Personal E-mail Scanner" in the "Installed plugins" list. Now click on the "Disable plugin" button. After you do this, no communication on ports 110 or 25 will be scanned by the AVG Personal E-mail Scanner. When you need to re-activate it, open the AVG Control Center program -> select the "E-mail scanner" tab by one left click -> click on the "Activate" button on the bottom of the AVG Control Center window.

When I go back into AVG, e-mail scanner is activated again.

Shoot me.

If it's recent, it may be a server issue.

Can I leave it disabled, or disable it only when I want to use email. I have no other virus protection.
