I use AVG and have had e-mail scanning turned of since day one. Should
you

Is my computer still protected against viruses if I disable Email
Scanning?

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.

Now, you did say that when you created an e-mail and sent it to yourself
you
got the message on the original send and not even a forward? If nothing
previously suggested helps, then let's try a new Outbox and Sent Items
folder.

Do the following for the Outbox, and if the problem persists, repeat for
Sent Items after you move any messages you wish to save to a local folder
you create.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise,
write
the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must
enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder
Options |
View.

With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question {Outbox.dbx}
and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you open OE.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and move
your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything
until
the compacting is completed.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer
of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such
as
time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will
continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

In Tools | Options | Maintenance: Uncheck Compact messages in background
and
leave it unchecked. {N/A if running XP/SP2}.

Then what you are receiving isn't inserted properly by the sender. For
example, a simple copy/paste may get to the first recipient but that's it.

So the problem is not on your end. Should you ever have this situation in
the future and want to send the picture on to others, you will have to save
the picture to your HDD and then insert it in a new message.

There is nothing for you to do unless you can instruct the sender to send
graphics correctly.

Is my computer still protected against viruses if I disable Email
Scanning?

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.

Now, you did say that when you created an e-mail and sent it to
yourself
you
got the message on the original send and not even a forward? If
nothing
previously suggested helps, then let's try a new Outbox and Sent
Items
folder.

Do the following for the Outbox, and if the problem persists,
repeat
for
Sent Items after you move any messages you wish to save to a local
folder
you create.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the
location
of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the
folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put
the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files.
Otherwise,
write
the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by
default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must
enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder
Options |
View.

With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question
{Outbox.dbx}
and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you
open
OE.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually
become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and
move
your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user
created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

If you create your own message and Insert a picture and

does that work OK? If so, try to Forward that to yourself

If your problem only happens sometimes, it may be the

Try a test to yourself and also note what shows in Sent

If a

I thank you for your help Bruce. My only question is, why is it that it is
every person who sends me something that might have graphics or pictures in
it. Can't forward any of them w/out 'Forward as Attachment...'
I do go into the Windows Live Safety Center and have them take care of
everything for me at least once a week. I love it!

So the problem is not on your end. Should you ever have this situation in

the picture to your HDD and then insert it in a new message.

There is nothing for you to do unless you can instruct the sender to send
graphics correctly.

Is my computer still protected against viruses if I disable Email
Scanning?

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.

Now, you did say that when you created an e-mail and sent it to
yourself
you
got the message on the original send and not even a forward? If
nothing
previously suggested helps, then let's try a new Outbox and Sent
Items
folder.

Do the following for the Outbox, and if the problem persists,
repeat
for
Sent Items after you move any messages you wish to save to a local
folder
you create.

Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the
location
of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the
folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put
the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files.
Otherwise,
write
the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In Windows XP, 2K & 3K, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by
default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must
enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder
Options |
View.

With OE closed, find the DBX file for the folder in question
{Outbox.dbx}
and delete it. A new one will be created automatically when you
open
OE.

General precautions for Outlook Express:

Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They will eventually
become
corrupt. Create your own user defined folders for storing mail and
move
your
mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder regularly. Keep user
created
folders under 100MB, and Default folders as empty as is feasible.

After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually
while
