| 230861 | 2004-04-21 01:39:00 | This problem started a couple of month ago, almost every time I go online, Norton Anti-Virus pops up with 'Outgoing Email' and scans it, then sends it, it's really weird because the only email I use is hotmail, I'm not sure what email service my family uses, but it shouldn't be a problem right? So if anyone could help, that would be greatly appreciated. |

| 230863 | 2004-04-22 02:44:00 | That was my first thought too but then if it was a virus and not a brand new one, Norton would be notifying you that it had found one. Certainly though, first step is to update and then scan. | oggy (1250) | ||
| 230864 | 2004-04-22 07:54:00 | If you are running Norton AV 2004, highlight E Mail Scanning | cl More Info | Index | Worm Blocking | Threats found by | for more info. Earlier versions of Nortons should have info on Worm Blocking. Suggest run AdAware and Spybot. Do you remember what you installed around the time when this started?, sounds very much like Spyware. Unfortunately Norton logs a lot of it's activities but does'nt appear to log E mail scanning. | FrankS (257) | ||

| 230866 | 2004-04-22 11:36:00 | Also try stinger (vil.nai.com) which hits a lot of the recent virus's. The link above for the fix doesn't work due to a gap appearing in the address (this site does this sometimes to long addresses). So it is here (securityresponse.symantec.com) for your reading pleasure. |
