I have to respectfully disagree somewhat, although that may be
what needs to be done if the XP doesn't have the SP's installed.
In which case, there are other, much more glaring holes in the
OS, so NBD I guess.

Turning OFF Outgoing scanning makes sense very often, especially
with long mails or attachments. But INcoming virus scans should
not be turned off, IMO, and I haven't yet found an updated
properly installed XP system have any problems with incoming mail
scanning. If one does discover that turning them off helps a
particular circumstance, they should still be turned back on
unless/until it's verified that's the ONLY way to retrieve the
mail in question. Personally, I'd be off looking for malware in
such a case.

Some will say it's OK to turn off incoming scans because the
av sw will catch it anyway later on, but that's not true with
some of the stuff out there today; if it can get onto the hard
drive, it can hide and activate and get under the radar to to
speak because it morphs into something else unbeknownst to the
os.

Just my two cents, and a chance to voice an opposing view, that's
all. I was unaware of such morphing until recently but there are
a couple of strains that aren't detected due to it by the time
they reach the hard drive, and can then execute. Unfortunately,
I cannot cite references: I can't find the danged things
anymore. If I can locate them, I'll come back and post them.

Regards,

Pop

Turn off the e-mail scanning in your anti-virus.

If you have an Anti-Spam program, that can also be the cause of
the error.
