It means that your anti-virus program installs a copy of itself as a Windows
service that runs all the time. It often shows up as an icon in the
notification area of the System tray. When you execute a file that contains
a virus, the on-access scanner (so-called because it run upon your accessing
a file) detects the virus and takes whatever action you've set it up to
perform, like quarantining the file, cleaning it, if possible, or deleteing
it.

ZA should not scan mail. AVG can, and as far as I can tell, integrates well
with Outlook, but since AVG has an on-access scanner, you shouldn't have to
enable the email scanner.
