How do I get my AVG to check my incoming and outgoing Yahoo E-Mails?

I have followed the instructions that they give to but it is so confusing. I thought I had it done but none of my emails are getting checked. Please help if you have a less confusing way of setting it up. Thanks.

    How to create servers for scanning e-mails - SSL communication

    In some unique cases you have to create the incoming/outgoing servers in the AVG E-mail Scanner manually. The typical case is when you are using secure communication (SSL). In this case you have to change the AVG E-mail Scanner configuration this way:

    * open AVG - menu Tools - Advanced Settings - E-mail Scanner - Servers

    * go to POP3 - AutoPOP3, and edit this server:

    o Type of login: Fixed host; fill in your POP3 server and port (e.g. pop3.mymail.com:995)

    o Local port: 5100

    o Connection: SSL Default (or SSL, based on your e-mail provider)

    o make sure that the server is activated

    * now go to SMTP - AutoSMTP, and edit the server:

    o Type of login: Fixed host; fill in your SMTP server and port (e.g. smtp.mymail.com:465)

    o Local port: 5200

    o Connection: SSL Default (or SSL, based on your e-mail provider)

    o make sure that the server is activated

    This way, the AVG E-mail Scanner is set up to communicate with your e-mail server using SSL encryption. Now, please configure your e-mail client so that it connects to the instead of the actual e-mail server. The servers configuration will be:

    * POP3

    o server: 127.0.0.1

    o port: 5100

    o user name / password: same as before (i.e. your e-mail username and password)

    o encryption: NONE (SSL disabled)

    * SMTP

    o server: 127.0.0.1

    o port: 5200

    o authentication: same as before

    o user name / password: same as before (if required)

    o encryption: NONE (SSL disabled)

    The "E-mail Scanner" component should automatically scan your emails for you. If it doesn't, maybe you could try upgrading to the latest version.

    You can download it here:

    Just make sure the component is always "Active".
