Avast Mail Shield notifications!
Avast Mail Shield is a feature in Avast Antivirus that scans your email attachments and emails for malware, viruses, and other types of threats. When it detects a potential threat, it may display a notification to alert you. Here are some common Avast Mail Shield notifications you might see:
- Suspicious attachment detected: Avast Mail Shield may detect a suspicious attachment in an email, such as a file with a malicious extension or a file that's known to be malicious. The notification will ask you to decide what to do with the attachment.
- Malware detected: Avast Mail Shield may detect malware in an email, such as a virus, Trojan, or spyware. The notification will inform you that the email contains malware and ask you to delete or quarantine the email.
- Phishing attempt: Avast Mail Shield may detect a phishing attempt, where an email is trying to trick you into revealing sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial information. The notification will warn you that the email is a phishing attempt and suggest you delete it.
- Spam or junk email: Avast Mail Shield may detect an email that's likely to be spam or junk mail. The notification will ask you if you want to move the email to your spam or junk folder.
- Unknown sender: Avast Mail Shield may detect an email from an unknown sender, which could be a sign of a phishing attempt or a spam email. The notification will ask you to verify the sender's identity before opening the email.
When you receive an Avast Mail Shield notification, you can choose from the following options:
- Delete: Delete the email and its attachment immediately.
- Quarantine: Move the email and its attachment to a quarantine folder, where you can review it later.
- Allow: Allow the email and its attachment to be delivered to your inbox.
- Block: Block the sender's email address to prevent future emails from reaching your inbox.
Remember to always exercise caution when opening emails and attachments, even if they're from trusted sources. Avast Mail Shield is designed to help protect you from online threats, but it's still important to be vigilant and take steps to protect yourself online.
