Disable notifications of disabled component

Hello James,
Thank you for contacting us with your concerns. Please follow the steps below to set AVG to ignore the error status of your Email protection component.
Open AVG.
Click on Options and select Advanced settings.
In the left pane menu of Advances settings windows, check for "Ignore Error Status" and click on it.
Then select which component's error status you would like to ignore and Apply the settings.
Please, feel free to let us know if you require any further assistance. Thank you.

I have disabled the "email scanner" part of AVG AV Free, since I don't want to use the questionable hack that AVG wants to use for scanning my IMAP email (it doesn't integrate very well with Thunderbird).  However, now it sits there whining that I'm "not fully protected".  Yes, I know that, but I don't want to do the workaround you would have me do (anytime I'd re-import my Linux configuration, I'd have to go through and re-edit a dozen or more server settings all over again).

What I'd like is a way to tell the application that I KNOW it's disabled, I want it disabled, and not to tell me about it ever again.  I only want it to monitor the components I have intentionally enabled.

James,
Thank you for trying it out. We request you to uninstall AVG completely and re install it. While re installing, please do the custom installation and exclude the email protection component from list of components. Thank you.

That fixes it somewhat, it disables the tray notifications, but the main screen still screams "Fix Me" at you.  It needs a way to say "fix everything but this piece, which should never be enabled".  Just a suggestion.

Granted, a nice Thunderbird-specific plugin for AVG mail  would be nice (although since I spend 95% of my time running Linux, it wouldn't be much use there).
