   I never leave any amount of messages in the InBox. The most I've had   
   there where over 1700, after my ISP account had been idle four years,   
   but they were quickly cleared out. Now there are less than 10.

   Yes I think that was the one, but I removed it when it told me that the   
   end of the free evaluation period had ended.   
      
   EV> Recently I read that AVAST! owns AVG now.   
   EV> Have You read about that too?   
      
   No, I have better things to do, than reading all sorts of gossip.
