I can recieve most E-Mails, but when I try to send one McAfee screen pops up
and says that Internet connection has been lost. Under details it says, E-
Mail scanning encountered a problem: This message cannot be sent. After you
verify your computer is connected to the Internet, McAfee recomends that you
resend this message from your E-Mail program. Any ideas or help would be
greatly appreciated!

Yes uninstall McAfee.

I have always used AVG Free from Antivirus
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-virus-free

When you install it, so far into the install choose custom install, and
remove the checkmark from email scanner. You do not need it.
 
Mac,
The computer (Gateway) is about a month old. It came with McAfee, the
problem started only a couple of days ago. The only thing I know different is
we moved computer to different location. In McAffee I did find this trail:
Wormstopper detected e-mail activity and has tacken the following action:
Process: C:\ProgramFiles\Windowsmail\Winmail.exe
Process description: Windows Mail
Allowed: YES
Do you still suggest removal?

It is entirely up to you, you could try to disable the email scan options in
McAfee, but we are seeing more and more messages asking for help with
various problems in WM and in many cases McAfee or Norton is installed on
their PC.
 
Dear Lori,

I had this problem with Vista and McAfee (both of which I am learning to
hate)!

I fixed it by selecting in McAfee - Computers and Files - then Virus
protection then Advanced then "Trusted Lists" then Trusted programs then
Trusted Email Programs and then change winmail.exe status from blocked to
trusted!

God help us!

Robin
