Symantec is so stingy they won't answer a simple question without me
paying, even though I bought this thing less than a year ago.

Anyway, my question is... I had my Norton Antivirus 02 set up to
automatically delete the email attachment if it has a virus. It was
working fine. until..... i had to reinstall the application and now
every time it finds a virus on an incoming email, I have to stop what
I'm doing, and click 3 times to delete it.

I get a lot of SWEN viruses so it's pretty annoying.

I've been staring at every page of the OPTIONS and can't find the
setting that will make it automatically delete the attachment so I
don't have to deal with it every time it finds one.

Does anyone know where this setting is?

Thanks
 
Well, you got your answer, but being similarly plagued I would advise using
something like mailwasher to monitor your mail. The free version will do
fine and you won't be downloading or attempting to download a 150k file. Not
sure how much file is actually downloaded before Norton blows the whistle,
but from the time taken it doesn't appear to be a complete download - still
it's a nuisance.
