Windows mail / outlook

[Harry]

I am currently using Outlook (2003) for all my E mails. Norton 360 checks
the incoming mail for a possible virus, and this works fine.
If I want to change to Windows Mail and no longer use Outlook, how will I
get the same virus protection?

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled.

Norton antivirus is not compatible with Windows Mail.
Also, email scanning is redundant and unnecessary, see
