After my message I get my signature and that is all fine and good. But after that there is a message that the anti-virus program add. I want to remove that. I don't know how it got there.

Below is how it looks like. The first part is my signature and I can see that when I’m composing my mail. After I pressed send Avast adds the last signature without telling me. I only got to know about it when I get a reply of my old messages or when I mail myself. It the message doesn’t even show in my outbox.

(I’m sorry for it being in Swedish but I suppose that really doesn’t matter.)

Chosen solution

When you click to send email, Avast is set up to scan email prior to sending and adds the line to the email.

you could stop scanning out going emails. this can be turned off (without uninstalling the product):

  • Setting
  • Active Protection
  • Mail Shield
  • Scan outbound mail (SMTP) <- uncheck this option

or there should be an option to allow scanning but not add message. disable the added message:

  • Setting
  • Active Protection
  • Mail Shield
  • Behavior
  • Insert note into clean message (outgoing) <-- uncheck this

I really appreciate the help with my problem even though, at it turned out, had nothing to do with the performance of Thunderbird.
