Dialog controls
To switch between both sections of the dialog, you can simply click anywhere in the respective service panel.
The panel then gets highlighted in a lighter shade of blue. In both sections of the dialog you can find the
following controls. Their functionality is the same whether they belong to one security service or another
(Email Scanner or Anti-Spam):
Enabled / Disabled - The button may remind you of a traffic light, both in appearance and in
functionality. Single click to switch between two positions. The green color stands for Enabled, which
means that the security service is active and fully functional. The red color represents the Disabled
status, i.e. the service is deactivated. If you do not have a good reason to deactivate the service, we
strictly recommend that you keep the default settings for all security configuration. The default settings
guarantees the optimum performance of the application, and your maximum security. If for some reason
you wish to deactivate the service, you will be warned about the possible risk immediately by the red
Warning sign and the information that you are not fully protected at the moment. Please mind, that
you should activate the service again as soon as possible!
Within the Email Scanner section you can see two of "traffic light" buttons. This way you can
separately specify whether you want to have the Email Scanner checking the incoming, or outgoing
messages, or both. By default, the scanning is on for incoming messages while off for outgoing mail
where the risk of infection is rather low.
Settings - Click the button to get redirected to advanced settings interface. Precisely, the
respective dialog opens and you will be able to configure the selected service, i.e. Email Scanner or
Anti-Spam. In the advanced settings interface you can edit all configuration of each security service
within AVG Internet Security 2013 but any configuration can be recommended to experienced users
only!
