I have unistalled AVG using their removal tool as i did not unistal fully.
Changed my mind and installed the Microsoft Security Essentials, which has
updated and completed its first scan without any viruses found.
Afterwards i then re-sent the message and still havent recieved it?

Uninstall AVG & reboot, then do a fresh install of AVG Free 9.0. [1] This
time select the CUSTOM install option and do NOT install (i.e., uncheck)
Linkscanner, Search-Shield, Active Surf-Shield, Security toolbar, or any of
the email scanning components.

[1] Or consider replacing AVG with Microsoft Security Essentials
(http://www.microsoft.com/security_es...s/default.aspx) or Avira AntiVir
(http://www.free-av.com/en/trialpay_d...antivirus.htm),
both free and much more reliable than AVG IMHO.

Yes, the pdf file is an attachment (with a web link in the text body)
AVG is configured to set to scan incoming emails only - i have also tried
turning this off and resending the message, but i makes no difference as
the
message still does not arrive (with a word file attachement and a web link
in the message body)?
I dont think the pdf file is a problem as i can send and recieve these. It
seesm to be with word file attachements and web links with the message
body.
Thus if i attach a pdf file with this combination it never arrives?
Thank you

I am having problems trying to send a word document (with a web site
hyperlink) and the same link in the message body of an email. The word
file
is my CV and the link relates to my web site where examples of my work
can
be found (i.e nothing dodgy, im just looking for a new job). The word
document has also been converted as pdf with the web site link. Both
document links work fine outside of outlook express.
The message will send (can see the progress bar), but it is not recieved
and
does not show up on the virgin server? I have sent this to my self to
proove
this. If i re-send the message without the word document, with the
hyperlink
removed from the message body and only the pdf attached, it works fine?
I have enabled pop3 on the virgin server, used the recent virgin message
fix
tool and un-checked "do not allow attachements" within oultook and still
it
wont send the discussed message?
Please can you help me to fix this as i really need to send out my CV
with
the web site link, thank you.
I am using:
@virgin.net (email account)
Outlook express 6
XP home service pack 2
Word 2002
adobe reader 9
avg free 8.5
windows firewall
Thank you,
