Here is a general review of the scoring threshold:
· Value 90 - Most incoming e-mail messages will be delivered normally (without
being marked as spam). The most easily identified spam will be filtered out, but a
significant amount of spam may still be allowed through.
· Value 80-89 - E-mail messages likely to be spam will be filtered out. Some non-
spam messages may be incorrectly filtered as well.
· Value 60-79 - Considered as a quite aggressive configuration. E-mail messages
that are possibly spam will be filtered out. Non-spam messages are likely to be
caught as well.
· Value 50-59 - Very aggressive configuration. Non-spam e-mail messages are as
likely to be caught as real spam messages. This threshold range is not
recommended for normal use.
You can further define how the detected spam e-mail messages should be treated:
· Modify subject for messages marked as spam - tick this check box if you
would like all messages detected as spam to be marked with a specific word or
character in the e-mail subject field; the desired text can be typed in the
activated text field.
· Ask before reporting wrong detection - provided that during the installation
process you agreed to participate in the Product Improvement Programme - this
programme helps us to collect up-to-date information on the latest threats from
all participants worldwide, and in return we can improve protection for everyone
- i.e. you allowed reporting of detected threats to AVG. The reporting is taken
care of automatically. However, you may mark this check box to confirm you
want to be asked before any detected spam gets reported to AVG to make sure
the message should really be classified as spam.
Note: This option is not applicable for AVG Email Server Edition 2011.
Train Anti-Spam button opens the Anti-Spam training wizard described in details in

7.3.1. Anti-Spam Training Wizard
The first dialog of the Anti-Spam Training Wizard asks you to select the source of
e-mail messages you want to use for training. Usually, you will want to use either e-
mails that have been incorrectly marked as SPAM, or spam messages that have not
been recognized.
