I outlined them in my original message, but here they are again. In AVG, tab to control system and hit the space bar. Tab to the list menu and arrow to e-mail scanner. Tab to properties and hit enter. Tab to configure and hit enter. Tab to certify e-mail and uncheck it (I believe it is the third tab). Tab to okay This will not turn off e-mail checking, but it will turn off the message that AVG is checking the e-mail. Thus, you are still protected.

Do you have the steps to do this?

If you wish to turn off protection you can do that as well, but that is a separate option.

I have the paid version of AVG and am disappointed and annoyed at the interference this program causes while I read e-mail, work and try to use my computer. When e-mail is being scanned I cannot read my other mail. If I am working I get all the messages that it is updating or scanning and I cannot continue until I press okay or close. So maybe there is also a place to check to have it run in the background instead of interfering with everything else. Anyone know?
