Downloading email attachments

[Guest]

I am so frustrated. I can't download email attachments, it goes through the
whole proccess, but at then nothing appears. I have Vista and Norton, is it
anything to do with these?

Hello Jim,

Do you use Outlook, if yes which version?

But are you using Hotmail through an email client? If you are doing it
through your web browser, it sounds more like a connection issue or the
service is blocking attachments it finds suspicious.

Can you try downloading the attachments through another browser such as
FireFox?

Norton is the problem. It must be uninstalled, disabling e-mail scanning is not
enough.

First uninstall using Control Panel (Classic view) > Programs and Features and
then download and run the clean-up tool from the Norton site.

Jim,

Many people will disagree with me but if you want your system to work
properly you must uninstall anything and everything Norton/Symantec.

This is based upon personal experience with many of the Norton/Symantec
products, both on Vista and XP.

Norton/Symantec, ZoneAlarm and McAfee are bloated applications and
cause more problems than they solve. Yes, I also have experience with McAfee
and ZoneAlarm, both for XP and Vista.

The problems I have experienced with these security applications are
not due to any of the settings or applications on my machines. All other
security applications work just fine.

I would suggest NOD 32 or Avast. I prefer NOD 32 and use it on all my
machines.

Have a nice day.
