Well fwiw, installing the free AVG prints such messages to both incomming
and outgoing scanned messages/files and cannot be blocked by the user other
than to remove or buy the professional AVG product. I agree that all computer
users should have Anti-S/V programs installed and to secure their systems, as
I do, but don't take my word for it, scan and scan again to your heart's content!

I have yet to find a free product such as AVG from the OpenSource community that
is fully-loaded and fully-automatic such as professional AV/S products provide
and hence the reason for my continued use of AVG.

No virus found in this outgoing message.
Checked by AVG Free Edition.
