I believe that AVG is wiping the bodies of my messages in Outlook. After the update this morning which required a reboot, message bodies of most new messages are blank. I disabled scan incoming messages under E-mail protection and no new messages have gotten wiped yet. Data from the older messages appears to be lost though.

Hi DonYahoo,

could you please provide us with all needed information?

Requested files..

Here you go:
Files were renamed from AVG.7z.001 and AVG.7z.002 to meet the upload restrictions.

Hello DonYahoo,

There are many errors in mail scanning related log files after the update.
Please try to perform all steps in AVG 2012 (incl. Previous Versions) Uninstall / Re-Install Instructions.
Use latest installation package when reinstalling - build 1890.

Then with AVG enabled try to send several test messages to your own email address and receive them.
If they are wiped again, disable AVG email protection and send/receive a few messages again.
Confirm that all messages are received correctly with AVG disabled.

Afterwards, gather fresh log files and provide us with them.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Hello

I have experienced the same problem as DonYahoo.

I have disabled email scanner till AVG releases a fix. Is there really a benefit by rolling back to an older version? Will that not mean reduced protection?

Would un-installing the Outlook plugin achieve the same result while ensuring email scanning takes place in my other email clients?

Thanks for your help

Hi samuraistewart,

please provide us with all needed information to analyze your issue.
provide us with AVG Log files as well. See How to gather logfiles

Thank you

Tried to gather log files and followed the instructions to the T but the "Run" executable doesn't seem to function correctly. Nothing happens. Tried multiple times.

But same problem as the above user, Blank email body.

The heading and sender are unaffected. And in the little pop up that outlook gives when you receive new mail, you can see a little preview of the body. But when opening the mail, no email body at all.

I have an automatic forwarding rule and all the mail is perfectly readable on my Gmail account.

So it seems that soon after receiving mail (but after it applies forwarding rule and little pop up mail notification), AVG email scanner does its job.....but somehow deletes the body of the mail?

Hello samuraistewart,

Please try to gather log files manually instead of using automatic utility.
