Its avgemc.exe in the the AVG file folder. I didn't have any problems with AVG 8 at first. but found the Above solution to solve the problem Of inactive e-mail scanner issues.

Once you go to your avg icon on your desktop and right click it and go to properties, and then open target it will be highlighted in blue, but it will be on avgui...so what you have to do in order to find the avgemc file is hunt around...it's usually above that one but you really have to look, and it will have the avg icon above it. I really had to look for it too.

I know it's a .exe file, but after using search there is no file with avgemc name with any extension in AVG folder or any other folder. I am using Internet Security not the free version if that makes any difference. According to the Email Scanner overview emails are being scanned, so looks like every thing is working okay. Keep my fingers crossed!

Don't use Search. Use Windows Explorer and look in the folders.
You'll find it in 2 locations.
C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\avg8\update\backup

Sorry throoper, but using search and the "mark 1 eyeball" search there is no file avgemc.exe, or any other extension, on my system. In all users/application data/avg8 there is a folder emc but it's empty.

I am using Outlook 2000 for email, not Outlook Express, but not sure why that would make a difference. Despite this apparent anomaly all functions of AVG seem to be working fine so I am not complaining (yet)..

You just have to keep updating it all the time as-well

[HWTPEZ]

i dont get it, cause i do keep updating it, i've pretty much tried everything. Should i delete it and re-install it??
Thats pretty much the last thing i can think of doing, cause there are no updates available, well thats what it keeps telling me

Ill try that and get back to you if it works. and if it doesnt ill probably be asking for more ideas (haha) Cause im sure running out of them.

[sidmasters!eire]

Mine always starts in the red logo as-well, On start up I just update it even if there is no updates available. And with the email scanner issue, I just open the avg.emc file in the main folder. This worked for me. Maybe you can reinstall it, or check the avg website for more info.http://free.avg.com/ww.help-appf8 ............ Sorry I cant help you more................I know how frustrating it can be. .Hope you get it solved

HEY THANKS ANYWAY. AHH IT FAILED TO WORK IT WONT EVEN INSTALL ANYMORE

im really out of ideas!!

[throoper]

Try getting a fresh installation package from HERE.
Before running it, use the AVG Removal Tool from HERE.
If you still have problems, get Avast from HERE. It has more features and seems to be a lot less trouble to install and run.
Good luck.

Does it matter if you do not have the e-mail scanner cause i went custom install the only thing stopping the installationg was the email scanner so i didnt put it into it and it completed and it says the computers protected.
Would it be ok to leave it like that?

i Personally think it would be fine considering the situation is it wont let me install the e-mail scanner and its better then not having on at all.

Anyway thanks for your help.
