I have not used AVG -- but it seems to me that the mail scanner would not be activated UNTIL your e-mail program is running -- when you turn on the computer, the e-mail program is not running hence the message. Try this -- start up your computer, ignore the message, and then activate your e-mail program, then check and see whether the scanner is working.

AVG should be activated as soon as you turn on your computer. I have mine set to automatically do a Boot_Up scan and then at a certain time every day it does and update and thorough virus scan.

I use AVG and have a permanent broadband connection to the internet. I do not get the mmessage, so it looks like you need the connection to get the e-mail scanner active.
