There's a lot of virus activity now!

I get the MS Security virus about 5X a day, in addition to 20 to 30 pieces
of Spam. When Norton AV encounters a Virus it repairs or deletes it. The
problem is Norton displays a summary screen to tell me this. In order to
complete the download you must click this screen to continue. If you don't
sit with your computer for the whole download it "times out" and the whole
download must be re-initiated. This results in duplicating the download up
to the point where the virus was found, and another 5 to 10 min wait while
you monitor the complete download.

Is there a setting that allows the download to proceed interrupted, while
still dealing with viruses?

If you go into Norton, click on the Options tab.
Select the email option and you should find your choices in there, including
the 'Protect against timeouts' option.
