Hi!

While loading my new Norton's Anti Virus 2004 CD, I noticed that
Norton's protects POP3 and SMTP email, incoming and outgoing.

Well, my ISP, www.wmconnect.com does not use POP3 OR SMTP for its
email. And, I somwhow I can't seem to configure my Email protection
with Norton. I suppose I can still use it of other Incoming sources of
viri, but did I just waste money on the new CD???

Wish someone knew!!

Thanks,
Mike

Seeing as his ISP is Walmart which is actually Compuserve which was bought
out by AOL (Surprise surpirise) It should be web based e-mail.
Amazing what clicking a link in a newsgroup posting can teach you if you
take the time to look!

Here's a lilltle more usefull information taken directly from
compuserve.com:
"CompuServe Classic does support POP3 mail. To active your POP3 Mailbox on
your Classic account, GO POPMAIL online."

E-mail scanning on a desktop computer is mostly superfluous anyway.
If you keep your software patches current, and scan received files from
any source manually, you shouldn't need it at all. Keeping current with
patches is more difficult when using IE/OE, but it can (almost) be done.
