Downloaded the new AVG 7. Installed/Setup using the default settings and all seems to be working fine except for the Verification message in "Outlook".

Sending myself a test mail in "Express" displays the Scanned by..... But if I use Outlook 2003 The test mail comes through but without the message on show. It does include the message though, as an attachment that when clicked on opens in notepad.

Have I missed a setting somewhere? :blink:

Hi Boris,

The reference files say to load the exceptions as follows for XP firewall.

AVG Free control centre (file avgcc exe)

AVG Free edition for windows (file avgw exe)

"avginet exe"

"avgecc exe"

The first two where already in the exceptions window of XP's firewall and I was able to navigate to the AVG folder and add the "avginet exe" file but couldn't find the "avgecc exe" file.

Found one very similar. "avgcc" but that one is already added as part of the Free control centre, [First line above] Haven't a clue where the avgecc exe is! :wacko:

Worked for me DJ. Sent me'sen a test message using OE and it arrived with the following message.

No virus found in this incoming message.

Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Version: 7.0.289 / Virus Database: 265.0.0 - Release Date: 08/11/2004

Ahh Just spotted that was for the incoming message.

Hi doug, yep! it works fine in Express, shows the full test by message. But if I use "Outlook 2003" it does not show at the bottom of the mail but as an attachment. Click on the attachment and the message comes up. :blink:

Have a thread running in the other place and users of "Outlook" are not having the problem. :(

AVG7 Free FAQ 4.3 says :-

Q - How can I set programs like WinZip, GetRight etc. to scan files used by them?

A - Within the 3rd party program scanning options choose AVGW.EXE with /SE parameter (AVGW.EXE /SE) as internal anti-virus scanner. AVGW.EXE file is located in the AVG Free directory ? usually ?C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG  Free? directory on your hard drive.

Anyone able to get this to work ??? :unsure:

- with 6 you used to be able to use avgse with no params specified
