Do you want to permanently disable or erase the Avast signature for all outgoing emails? Then you have come to the correct place!

If you install Avast by default, it will enable an email signature setting and include one of the following messages in all your outgoing emails:

"No virus."

"This email was sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast."

«Este email ha sido revisado por virus por el software antivirus Avast».

«Este email está libre de virus y malware debido a que la protección de Avast Antivirus está activa».

El mensaje de forma general se adjunta al final de todos los correos electrónicos salientes si utiliza Outlook, Thunderbird u otro client de email instalado en su ordenador. Además se agregará si utiliza Gmail, Yahoo! Mail u otro proveedor de correo Web through its browser Web.

This feature can be annoying if you don't want to tell each recipient that the message has been scanned for viruses.

Both settings are enabled by default, which is very annoying, primarily because you may not know that this signature will be added to your emails until you see one of your sent messages. Tried sending myself some emails to activate this signature but with no luck it seems like it was added randomly.

Disable Avast signing for outgoing emails

  1. Abra la user interface de Avast y haga clic en ☰ Menú ▸ Configuración.
  2. In the menu on the left, select Protection and then click Main Shields.
  3. Scroll down to Configure Protection Options and click on the Mail Shield tab.
  4. Uncheck the box next to Add a signature to the bottom of sent emails.

Your outgoing emails no longer contain the Avast signature. You can reactivate this setting at any time.

conclusion

When you use Avast Antivirus, including the free version and some of the major desktop email clients (Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Zimbra Desktop, eM Client, Inky, Claws Mail), Avast automatically inserts the footer signature into all your own outgoing messages.

A partir de la versión 2016, si usa un cliente web (Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Outlook Mail, Live Mail) en el buscador de Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox o Internet Explorer, Avast además insertará de forma automática la firma del pie de página en todos sus propios mensajes salientes. El único navegador en el que no se inserta la firma de Avast es Opera.
