Sending Attachments

[Guest]

Just got a new laptop that has Win Mail on it. This is the first time I have
used VISTA and WinMail....used to OE. The laptop has McAfee Security on it
and I am trying to email picture attachements and keep getting this error
message (i used a contact group i created in winmail to send the pics too):

One or more e-mail messages cannot be sent.

After you verify the format of your recipient addresses, McAfee recommends
that you resend those messages from your e-mail program.

Any help would be great! I also just tried sending a regular text message
and could not....maybe there is a bad address in my contact group??????

If you do a quick search with Google Groups in this newsgroup
(microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail) you will see that there are a huge
number of posts about having problems with McAfee and Windows Mail. The
very best solution is to uninstall McAfee and use a better antivirus
program such as NOD32, Kaspersky, or even Avast if you want a free one.
I find the built-in Windows Firewall is sufficient for my needs and I
suggest starting with that.

In short - get rid of McAfee and you will be able to send emails with
attachments.

Uninstall McAfee and do not replace it with Norton. Avast is free.

thanks for your suggestions. I think i am going to uninstall McAfee...I have
only dealt with Norton in the past -- so this is a little new to me.
