Question
hello
Am not receiving any emails at all.  Have run AVG for free and itdoesnt show anything, but I am wondering if there is a virus.

Answer
Hi Denise,

Check your settings by going to Tools, Accounts, under the Mail tab highlight your account then click Properties. If they are correct, verify with your server that there is mail. Can you send emails? If yes, it is probably the settings are wrong or that the server is having problems. Try sending yourself a message.

Hope this helps!

I can answer most questions regarding viruses/Trojans and help to remove them.

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
