Default Thanks and more questions about the Avast AV

thanks again guys for all your help pertaining to Avast .
I have downloaded the avast but have yet to run it.
Have been reading over the faq's first and found this at their site:

"Second, there is a special plugin for MS Outlook only; it is completely
transparent, requiring no special settings"

Just what do I have to do here on my end and does this pertain to my MS
Outlook "EXPRESS 6" ?
Seems like there is quite a bit going on with the avast program that I am
unsure of how to use properly such as the virus chest ( I think that is what
it is called, and so forth. ) It also seems it may not be totally
"outlook express 6" friendly?
I am somewhat computer inept and suppose I am just accustomed to Norton
doing most everything for me ( at least I HOPE it was, for the most part)
by default.
How user friendly is the Avast
program for an computer challenged one such as myself-what are some key
points I need to read and buff up on before using?

Thanks again,
Matt

Check out the above site, Matt. Lots of good info. And, as far as
Outlook and Outlook Express, they are two different animals, AFAIK.
Heirloom, old and must get rid of some coffee
