I was looking through the help file yesterday, found a section on
command line parameters, but didn't look like there was anything in
there that would be of use. If anyone would like to correct me on this,
please do as I would like to know as well.

I think AVAST scans incoming files from the WLM anyway

thats not the point... WLM demands you define a virus scanner..
I had to install its own free one.. but I would prefer to define avast and
not have that other one installed.

How about AVG? Does anyone know about that one?

Avast Home and AVast Pro 4.6.763 Latest

i been actively testing the Avast file scanners the last couple of hours

I can confirm to get Avast to scan incoming files in MSN and Yahoo Messenger
whould be the same (if anyone got that here).

you need to:
"C:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast4\ashWebSv.exe" -

ENJOY
