An anti-spam program can do it also. If you have one bundled with McAfee, I
would get rid of the entire program.

I'd recommend using AVG Free:

or:

When prompted, choose Custom Installation and *uncheck* e-mail scanning when
you see the option.

Norton (and McAfee) products are not Outlook Express friendly, and I don't
know of any OE-MVP that would recommend using them.
