Mail Shield is an additional layer of active protection in Avast Antivirus, and scans your incoming and outgoing email messages in real-time for malicious content. Scanning applies only to messages sent or received using mail management software (email clients, such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird). If you access your web-based email account via an internet browser, your PC is protected by other antivirus shields.
