The only setting I could find that applies to email is a check box on the
Settings page under Real Time Protection labeled "Scan all downloaded files and
attachments". This means that MSE treats email attachments as incoming files
and scans them for malware. So it apparently does not have a real-time email
scanner.

Gerald,
I have MS-Essentials installed, and was wondering the same. I didn't see any
options that I could adjust or verify that applied to E-Mail. Are there any
configurations we can modify?

MSE scans email attachments, where most viruses are likely to hide.

One question I have about MSE is: does it scan incoming e-mail? I
understand that it doesn't. If it does, that would be good news for me.
Thank you.

Avast is not as JAWS friendly as Microsoft Security Essentials. And in
a recent comparison test among 16 leading anti-virus programs, MSE outscored
Avast at malware detection.

First, I wanted to chime in and let those with Avast know that the
same warning message came when I started my computer. Don't know what's going
on there but am hoping not to see that again. Avast seems to be the most
Jaws-friendly of the antivirus programs.
On to my question: I am learning how to tolerate Windows Live Mail,
since I'll be using it until my XP machine returns. I like reading mail in
HTML because when you read it in plain text and go to next message it doesn't
say who it's from. But when I do read in HTML and hit delete so the next
message can begin, it seems Jaws gets tired after reading about 3 or 4 messages
and if I hit insert escape to refresh screen it works fine. In other words,
the email is open and I hit delete, but it gets silent on next message and
screen-refreshing makes it talk again. But after reading a few messages fine I
find I'm screen-refreshing at the beginning of the rest of the messages. I
know F.S. really doesn't have a set list of recommendations yet for Windows 7,
and I also notice that when I installed Jaws it did put me to a basic windows 7
theme so it apparently knows which theme Jaws works best in. But do you think
screen resolution should be changed so I won't have to keep refreshing the
screen while reading mail, or do you think a program like Auto Sizer might help
whatever is causing Jaws to not respond to the screen after awhile? If
changing the screen resolution is the answer (right now it's 1024/768),
wouldn't changing the screen resolution also change the workable theme that
F.S. has recommended for Windows 7? I know if theme gets changed Jaws reads
horribly so not sure what to do.
Thanks for any help.
