Sending and Receiving E-Mail
E-mail enables you to send and receive letters, pictures, postcards, and even music and
video clips.
Your computer comes with an e-mail program from Microsoft called Windows Mail (select
models only). You may also use e-mail programs from other vendors. Some ISPs provide
their own e-mail programs. You use an e-mail program to send, receive, and organize your
messages. You can organize, read, and create new messages even when you are offline
(not connected to the Internet).
NOTE: If the computer is in Sleep mode, the AVG program does not perform a scheduled
antivirus scan. AVG displays a message asking if you want to Start Task as soon as the
computer is out of Sleep mode.

NOTE: E-mail may contain a virus in the message itself or as an attachment. To protect
your computer, do not open any message that originates from an unfamiliar source or that
appears suspect to you. Instead, delete such messages.
