Norton AntiSpam is driving me mad

[Sam]

Not sure if this is the correct news group for this, so please forgive
me if I should have posted elsewhere.

I recently purchased a PC which has a year's subscription to Norton
Internet Security / Norton Antivirus 2004 included. All seems to work
ok, although I was perfectly happy with the free products I used on my
old PC. One problem that is very annoying is that, although I have
disabled the Norton AntiSpam element of this package, it keeps wanting
to configure Outlook Express every time I open OE. Is there any way I
can get it to stop doing this? (OE6, WinXP Home SP2)

Your help appreciated.

Yes. take it off your system completely. Make a System Restore point.
Uninstall Norton then use windows explorer to find any remnants of the
programs. Also check your registry and look for Norton and delete. Be
careful what you delete. Check each one carefully.

Thanks, Pat, although I was hoping someone could point the way to just
switching off this residual (and annoying) activity by AntiSpam - I'm
quite happy with the rest of NIS although I know that people on this and
other news groups seem to like to despise it.
