According to me there is some kind of issue with the update which you installed in your system. I assume you might have installed some wrong update or the update might not have got properly installed in your system. And that is why you are facing this unusual issue with your AVG Email Scanner of AVG. So I would suggest you to perform update of your antivirus again. Make sure that you are connected to the official website of AVG for update. Reboot your system once you have completed the update and then check if the system still exists or not.

As you have mentioned that the problem occurred after you performed the update of your AVG antivirus and did not existed before that, I would suggest you to perform system restore and roll back your system to past instance, usually to the date when you were not facing any such kind of issue, most probably any date before the date of updating your AVG antivirus. Go to: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore to perform system restore. Make sure that you are restarting your system when asked for it.
