message appears "email connection scanner is unable to scan messages because the connection is encryped
y AVG anti virus displays a message "email connection scanner is unable to scan messages because the connection is encrypted" Does this mean my Thunderbird messages will not be scanned for viruses?

Yes Its like a man in the middle, reading your mail. But he hasn't got the key to open encrypted mail. So he cant understand. AVG can't scan what it can't understand. You probably have SSL encryption and AVG has addressed that. Look up your AVG-support pages
