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 Email 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.
6.3.2. Performance
The Engine performance settings dialog (linked to via the Performance item of the left navigation) offers the
Anti-Spam component performance settings. Move the slider left or right to change the level of scanning
performance ranging between Low memory / High performance modes.
Low memory - during the scanning process to identify spam, no rules will be used. Only
training data will be used for identification. This mode is not recommended for common
use, unless the computer hardware is really poor.
High performance - this mode will consume large amount of memory. During the scanning
process to identify spam, the following features will be used: rules and spam database
cache, basic and advanced rules, spammer IP addresses and spammer databases.
The Enable on-line checking item is on by default. It results in more precise spam detection via
communication with the Mailshell servers, i.e. the scanned data will be compared with Mailshell databases
online.
Generally it is recommended to keep the default settings and only change them if you have a valid reason to
do so. Any changes to this configuration should only be done by expert users!
