Norton doesn't NEED to check emails - it is a marketing weasels sop to
uninformed users who want to have the latest/greatest protection from their
AV solution and get them to pay for something that does nothing.
1. Any real time/on access AV scanner scans items when they are opened and
alerts you then. Your Norton AV scanner will catch this. It applies to
files and e-mail files.
2. Any outgoing email scanner will only catch any "Infected" file going out
from your system - which means that you are about 2 steps too LATE to
protect your system. Your AV should have caught the virus at system level,
not when sending.

||
||| I would like to know if it is possible to have outlook retrieve
||| emails from one account at a time instead of trying to get them all
||| at once.
|||
||| Every now and then i have to restart the pc as norton crashes, i
||| have had this problem since i first got the pc and reinstalled it
||| all and norton too, but still i get this now and then.
|||
||| there must be an option but i am not sure where to look, looked at
||| all i can so far.
|||
||| maybe it is not possible.
|||
||| thank you in advance for your help.
