E-mail Scanner Principles
One of the most common sources of viruses and trojans is via e-mail. Phishing and
spam make e-mail an even greater source of risks. Free e-mail accounts are more
likely to receive such malicious e-mails (as they rarely employ anti-spam technology),
and home users rely quite heavily on such e-mail. Also home users, surfing unknown
sites and filling in online forms with personal data (such as their e-mail address)
increase exposure to attacks via e-mail. Companies usually use corporate e-mail
accounts and employ anti-spam filters etc, to reduce the risk.

The E-mail Scanner component checks every e-mail sent or received, providing
much needed protection from e-mail borne threats. AVG supports all leading e-mail
clients including MS Outlook, The bat!, Eudora and all other SMTP/POP3 based email
clients such as Outlook Express. Encrypted connections using SSL are also supported.
