I recently upgraded to AVG 8.0 free edition from 7.5 (which was working ok) now every time i switch my pc on it's telling me i need to re-boot to update ? it does this every time i switch on and have got it programmed to update a 7 pm every night

Also although it says my E-Mail scanner is working correctly in the User Interface ......when i do get an E-mail it doesn't tell me anywhere in that mail that it has been scanned ? like it used to at the bottom .. it says that no E-mails have been scanned at all in U/I can anyone advise please. Thank You

This may be stating the obvious, but the email scanner will only scan emails for the default email program on your computer. So if you have more than one mail program on your computer, check that the one you use is set as the default. Obviously it won't check webmail, but webmail sites generally have a spam and virus scanner built in.

Open the AVG user interface, double click email scanner and see if scan incoming, scan outgoing and display notification window are ticked.

As for the other problem, if rebooting does not solve the problem you might want to uninstall AVG and reinstall it.
