165170 2003-08-04 05:10:00 Getting a Nortons Red message window - followed by the Green
Quarantine - everytime I log on to Hotmail?

Nortons Live up Date is running continually to up date new signatures?

Have used all sorts of registry and windows cleaning tools - but it is still happening - any ideas on how to fix will be appreciated

Simon ?

I've been accessing hotmail today (for first time in ages, on two different PCs, both running NAV) and had no problems.

Same, I have had no problems with the hotmail website part from it has been slow! (I have NAV 2002 with lasted virus definitions).

Try clearing out your Temporary Internet Files folder & see if that helps

C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files

Have cleaned out all the files I know of - like Temp Internet - Windows Temp - have run Adaware, Track Eraser, SpyBot and a registry cleaner etc.
