Andrew,

They are getting this 'paperclip' in the attachment field because the person 
who is using AVG has set the configuration to
"certify incoming" and also "certify outgoing" mail as having been checked 
by AVG.

To remove this 'paperclip' the user should click once on CONTROL CENTRE then 
the EMAIL SCANNER box then the PROPERTIES button at the bottom then the 
CONFIGURE button.  Under the heading EMAIL SCANNING you can either remove 
the tick from both boxes which say CERTIFY MAIL or place a tick in the two 
boxes which say WITH ATTACHMENTS ONLY.  That way only mail with attachments 
will have the certification and hence the 'paperclip' symbol.
Provided the tick is kept in the two boxes CHECK INCOMING MAIL and CHECK 
OUTGOING MAIL then all email is still scanned for viruses and you will be 
alerted if any are found.  I have used AVG Free for a number of years and it 
has detected numerous emails trying to come in with virus attachments.  This 
past few months there have been sometimes 4 or 5 on some days.  None have 
got through into my system.  How do I know?  I regularly carry out an online 
scan to double check.
