I installed Norton Internet Security 2005 on a customer's computer and
when he first opened Outlook Express it asked if he wanted to integrate
Norton Anti-Spam with OE. He didn't think he did so he clicked NO. Now he
has decided he wants it after all. I can't figure out how to get it back.
In the main NIS status screen, Anti-Spam still shows as turned on. Every
sub category in the configuration for that is also checked. I turned it
off and back on again, but I still can't get it to come back in Outlook
Express. I don't see any options in Outlook Express to turn it back on
either. Anyone here know how to do it?
Thanks...

Scanning incoming email for viruses can lead to Outlook Express database
corruption.
(OE's database files are notoriously easy to corrupt.
This is why disabling automatic compacting is a must)

If the Norton proxy hickups for any reason then the OE Inbox database can
become corrupted and its not a matter of _if_ this will occur but _when_ and
it _WILL_ happen. :(

I would disable this dangerous feature.

If the email attachement does have a virus, worm or trojan that is detected
by Norton then it will pop up a warning that the attchment is infected.
Delete the email immediatly and empty the Deleted Items folder.
 
You do not know what you are talking about. No doubt you are simply
parroting back what you heard from someone that heard from someone etc.....

Take it someplace else.

-OR- Prove your assertions. Provide links from Symantec or MS that support
your "dangerous feature" claim.

-ps YOU STINK

Neither Symantec nor MS would ever admit that there was a problem with their
applications especially when trying to get them to work together.

You must have a good nose.

Maybe if you learned how to reply to posts with correct USENET netiquette
people would take you more seriously. Top posting shows you for the
immature adolescent you obviously are.

Top posting eh? Is that the best you can do to "prove" how "dangerous" it is
to scan email for viruses?


Yeah I do have a good nose....
