What antiviral software can I use? Kate Katch 12.07.2007 09:00:00 So I wrote yesterday because I was having all sorts of problems with my windows mail. I read somewhere that if I uninstalled Norton it might work. So I did and now I can receive emails and all my email that had disappeared have come back. I still can't send them though. But that aside (even though it's doing my head in) what antivirus can I use that won't cause the problem again? Thanks loads - Kate.

Re: What antiviral software can I use? "Steve Cochran" <scochran[ at ]oehelp.com> 12.07.2007 11:25:22 See Delboy's response. Regardless you should make sure that any antivirus software is set not to scan email. You should remove your mail accounts and then close WinMail and then reopen it and then add them back again, after using Norton.

Re: What antiviral software can I use? "Peter Foldes" <okf22[ at ]hotmail.com> 13.07.2007 00:35:45 Delboy That is a hit or miss. Eventually you will hit miss. Email scanning not a favorite of WM,OE or any other email client.
