It is probably more annoying than reassuring to even novices. I doubt
they care if you have an a-v app running, especially those who don't
know what one is. Further, for those who forward email all over the
place, that 'certification' will be included - meaning nothing to the
next level except to confuse.

And as I said, there isn't a single a-v app that can fully guarantee
that what you sent is virus-free. Remember, zero-day viruses won't be
detected, along with the latest morphs of older viruses. It truly is
only an advertisement.

You may certainly continue to scan your outgoing mail (though that isn't
even necessary as all modern viruses use their own SMTP engines quietly
sending while you aren't looking), but there is no need to bother
everyone else. I have one friend who can't be talked out of removing the
ad, and all he does is embarrass himself by showing that he scanned with
an a-v database that is always three to four weeks or more out of date,
and therefore useless.

Be kind to your correspondents and turn it off.
