When I have Windows Live Mail open and AVG running in the background and I'm composing an email, every now and then, an AVG pop-up window appears stating "checking email". This locks up the process of typing the email until the window disappears, which I find very annoying…
Why does AVG do this and is there a way to stop this from happening?

Thank You
