That being said, most of us would recommend that you disable NAV's Email
Protection. It provides no additional protection, it may lead to loss of
message, and even Symantec says it's not necessary:

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.

OK as if I wasn't confussed enough. Running Windows XP Home SP2. I use
Norton Anti-Virus 2007. I must have about 1000 emails in Outlook Express,
do not do any back-ups (didn't know you were supposed to back up Outlook
Express). Now I read that you shouln't use anti-virus programs for outlook
express? What would be your best suggestion for what I should do. I know
that I need to do some house cleaning and delete a lot of emails, but I
would also like to save some that I use for reference. Any suggestions
would be appreciated. As of yet I have not had any problems with Outlook
Express.
