Hi folks,
I removed Norton last week and installed AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0 .
However, I just noticed that when I opened it up and checked under "E-
mail Scanner" that "Total E-mails Scanned" was 0, despite regular use
(dozens of e-mails sent and received) of my Outlook Express over these
few days. It says that there is no client installed. Do I need one for
Outlook Express?
I chose the standard installation and didn't got for the custom one.

Yes, there are three boxes at the bottom. All are checked.
When I go into Advanced Settings -> Email Scanner -> Servers and look
at the POP3 and SMTP settings, they seem all generic, and nothing to
do with my Email settings. Is this correct?? POP3 Server Name is
"AutoPop3", etc, etc.

In the window where you found "Total E-mails Scanned", are the boxes at the
bottom ticked?
i.e. Scan Incoming and Outgoing messages

Mine are the same and I too used standard installation.
Email scanning works for me.
