Outlook 2003

What anti-virus program is compatable with Outlook 2003 & Sympatico.ca? I had
to turn off antivirus protection incoming & outgoing in order to be able to
send email. Now I have limited protection.

As long as you have active, up-to-date, anti-virus software running,
you are fully protected from viruses. Allowing separate scanning of
incoming and outgoing mail is unnecessary and not recommended.

I think you should try just scanning incoming mail, not outgoing. Every virus
I've ever received came in an email. Usually it is the outgoing email scanner
that causes the problems.

I personally use Symantec, have used it since it was 1.2 for DOS. The only
problems I have encountered for scanning Email is if I have a large
attachment. As Mary said, incoming scan is HIGHLY recommended since most
virus are gotten when emails are incoming. I am too lazy to turn off
outgoing scanning, but unless you get a virus, outgoing scanning really isn't
necessary.

As Mary said, incoming scan is HIGHLY
recommended since most virus are gotten when emails are incoming.

Even scanning incoming mail is an unnecessary waste of time. As SgtRich
said, as long as your AV program's real-time scanner is up to date, scanning
incoming mail isn't needed.
