[access-uk] Re: e-mail virus

I find Norton ok.

It usually says there was a virus in the attachment. It still shows the
Email as having an attachment but, when you click on the list view, it says
the virus was stripped and only tells you the name of the document which
would have been attached.

I find that by using alt F it gets rid of the Norton message and leaves the
Email with the stripped attachment.

Best wishes,

Joan.

Hello Graham,

Yes, Norton does this, I used to use it and found the same thing, it doesn't
seem to get rid of the virus for a while and in the mean time you are
getting all your messages again and again.
