Some Antivirus programs automatically check incoming mail to see if it contains a virus. Does this also work with Mozilla?
Some Antivirus software like e.g. Norton Antivirus can automatically scan your incoming and outgoing email for Viruses. Unfortunately, Norton Antivirus 2001 cannot automatically configure Mozilla / Netscape 6/7 mail. You can, however, manually configure it. Norton Antivirus 2002 and up works fine with Mozilla / Netscape 6/7 without the need for any configuration. In addition to checking your incoming mail, it also automatically scans outgoing mail. To manually configure Mozilla to work with Norton Antivirus 2001, do the following: – Start Norton Antivirus 2001. – Click Options, and then double-click Email Protection. – Click Advanced. – Click Enable Manual configuration, click OK, and then exit Norton Antivirus. – In Mozilla’s mail window, select “Edit” -> “Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings” -> “Server Settings”. – In the Server Name box type: pop3.norton.antivirus – In the User Name box, type your user name, then a slash, and then the address of your ISP’s mail server.
