Just install Microsoft AntiSpyWare Beta 1 and everything
is working fine except for my send e-mails through
OutLook Express . It time out , asking me if I want to
wait 60 seconds , at least twice and then finally sends e-
mail . Is there some setting that I'm missing or what
are some other things I could try ?????
 
Windows version?

I'd very much doubt the problem is related to MWAS. Does closing MWAS fix
the problem?

Disable email scanning (outgoing and incoming) by your anti-virus
application and see if that fixes it. It provides no additional protection
and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

<quote>
Disabling email protection does not leave you vulnerable to viruses and
malicious software in email. It is a separate layer of protection in
addition to Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect scans any incoming files, including
email, as they are saved to your hard drive. As long as you keep your virus
definitions up to date with LiveUpdate, and keep Auto-Protect enabled and
set to scan files as they are created or downloaded, your system is fully
protected.

Brian, Start OE, click Tools, click Accounts, click Mail,
click on the name of your mail account, click Properties,
click Advanced. About the middle of the screen there is a
timeout slider. Move it to the far right(5 min.) and see
if this helps.
