Changed execute file?

[Carlos Cabrera]

The following message from McAfee is part of some few problems that I have
had with Windows Mail.



"McAfee has detected and allowed a program to send e-mail messages from your
computer.

Details

Name: C:\Program Files\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe"





It seems that when I tried to create a shortcut on the screen, what I really
did it was to change the name of the execute file, renaming it as
WinMail.exe, however still I am not very sure if that was the case.

If it was, it is obvious that the registers in relation to the new name of
the execute file had themselves adapted to open Windows Mail, and the e-mail
I had received and sent too.

Would I have a problem to reopen these, if I have to make any changes to the
name of the execute file?

I have installed: Windows Vista Home Basic.

The Internet supplier is Optus.

Thanks for your help

McAfee should not be allowed to mess with your email program.
Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee and Norton
security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, not
just disabled.

After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, download
and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast:

Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their
email scanning option turned off. For more on this topic see
