Norton or ZA could be the problem. Neither is really liked by OE. As far as
turning off e-mail scanning, it may be necessary for you to remove Norton &
reinstall it in custom mode and opt out of e-mail scanning when you see the
option. Sometimes just unchecking it is not enough. It wouldn't hurt to get
rid of Norton all together though. I would never even consider using it with
OE.
