Both of them have the option to add the ad...

and the avast message claims the email is clean which it can't possibly
know... there's a big difference between 'no viruses found' and 'clean'...

in order to determine if the email was clean avast would have to be able
to detect all possible viruses - as it stands an email could contain a
virus that avast doesn't know about yet and avast would still put the
text in it saying that it was clean...

it would be better to leave the false claims out entirely... yours is
shorter but still false...

Exactly, Moreover the default is off. The slider for Mail set to 'normal'
inserts no messages. Nex
