Hello all, I have version 8.02.6 on win98. I want it to deal with viruses
without asking for any input from me. At the moment I receive over 100 virus
e-mail messages daily containing the Swen virus and norton makes me click on
"finish" each time. How can I avoid that? Thanks in advance for comments.
Ivan

Open Norton, Click on Options, AntiVirus, and look at the options in
AutoProtect and Email.
At least this is how it works with SystemWorks2002 Pro.

Hello Buffalo, This does not work here. I have a norton antivirus on win XP
which has the option to "silently repair .."
but this option is not listed here.
