Since installing the Windows 10 update in late April 16, my 2016 AVG Free reports that emails are not protected whilst everything else is normal. Emails appear to being scanned and AVG updates are installed as normal.
Hello Lindsay,
Thank you for contacting us. Do you mean AVG reports the email scanner component is inactive? If so, please try to run repair installation ( avgclick.me/RepairAVG ) of your AVG. Please, feel free to let us know if you require any further assistance. Thank you.
