Hello, again, Damon,

I hope you enjoyed the holidays, and I wish you all the best in the New Year.
Apologies for the delay.

After confirming with our specialists, I can advise you the following:

AVG Internet Security and AVG AntiVirus FREE monitor your incoming emails and prevent you from receiving infected emails, or emails with malicious attachments. Email protection is provided by different AVG features according to your email client:

If you use an email client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, Email Shield automatically scans your emails.
If you use a web-based email client such as Gmail or AOL, Web Shield automatically protects you from malicious email content.

I hope this clarifies and helps.
