Windows Forum / Outlook Express / General Topics / May 2008all e-mails show attachments?
For some reason and for about a week now, every e-mail I download in OE shows the attachment icon, whether there's an attachment to it or not. Most don't have any, but the icon appears anyway. It doesn't seem to matter what account the e-mail came from (I use several). What could be causing this? From: "Bruce Hagen" <BruceIB@cox.net> Subject: Date: Monday, May 26, 2008 11:08 AM If you are using AVG for your anti-virus and have e-mail scanning enabled, that can cause this issue. Normally, I would just say to turn off the e-mail scanning feature. It is a redundant layer of protection that causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. However, with AVG you may need to remove and reinstall AVG and choose Custom Mode. Uncheck E-mail Scanning when you see that option. For some reason, just unchecking it in the AVG Security Center causes a conflict with the Windows Security Center.

That must be it... My Kaspersky subscription ran out a couple of weeks ago, and I thought I'd try AVG Free. That's when the problems started alright.
