My husband's AVG e-mail scanner doesn't work. What is wrong with it?

Question

My husband and I have AVG on each of our computers. My AVG e-mail scanner is active without any installed plug-in while my husband's is inactive and also has no installed plug-ins. How does my husband fix this problem with the Free AVG 8 e-mail scanner to become active? (we do not use e-mail clients such as outlook, mozilla, etc.)

Answer 1

Uninstall it and reinstall it.  It might need an update and for some reason it won't work.  It happened to me once and I just reinstalled it.  It is free so what is the problem?

Sometimes when microsoft does it's update thing...other programs get messed up.  

Answer 2

I am answering a lot of questions here at Yahoo Answers and since

AVG8 free came out, there are that many people having problems with it, that I could nearly buy a new computer when I would have been given 1 dollar for each problem. I always recommended AVG and Avast free but I now only advise to install Avast free. I would uninstall AVG and install Avast. You will have much less problems

The trial has ran out. You need to goto to programs and features and delete it. Then install a new trial of another antivirus softwear.

Try these.
