Afiak the 127.0.0.1 server modification was discontinued in 2006 products and 2005 NSW products that qualified for the Nav 2006 Live update patch. Even so, email scanning should be turned off in all AV products Symantec or other 3rd party applications.

: scanning and here's what they say:
:
: "Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
: that
: are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
: incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
: email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
: make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
: Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
: the most recent virus definitions."

:
: "...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect
: scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are
: saved to your hard drive."
: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01100907323806
:
: "NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of
: those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is
: protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV
: Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email
: attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. To make sure that
