I thought others might be interested in the answers I found to my questions after posting to the Avira forum. Would my entire Outlook 2007 (.pst) file be at risk? So if I were to receive an infected E-mail running the free version of Avira. Avira’s Guard Scan mode configuration allows you to scan both read and write of all files which I have selected. I believe Outlook converts the file to a database (.pst) file before I can open them. I run XP Home with Outlook 2007 and my E-mail is downloaded locally. The free version of Avira does not have an E-mail scanning feature and do not want the paid version. Avast and Avira both seem to be excellent programs but between the two I have a preference for Avira.

I now believe I should uninstall one of the programs. I was aware that false positives were possible with this set up but after reading the posts here I have noted that a virus slip through was possible. I have not noticed a problem with this set up. I have keep Avast active for E-mail purposes since it has an E-mail scanning feature and then switch to Avira for everything else. I currently have both Avast and Avira free versions loaded but allow only one to be active at a time.
