Your header should say MacAfee salesman.

Perhaps you should read his reply again... Notice he said "NOT replace it
with MacAfee"

"It would be better to completely uninstall Norton and not replace it with
MacAfee"

I doubt he is suggesting uninstalling Norton and then doing nothing else. I
believe the "not" is a typo. Either way the real point is that it has
nothing to do with antivirus. Given the number of recent posts on the web
for this identical problem I firmly belive it is associated with the latest
set of MS patches but this is still speculation on my part.

Hello lpdf,

You can be assured he suggested uninstalling Norton and "not" replace it
with MacAfee.

You can prove it to yourself by searching this newsgroup for other post by
him suggesting the same.

Now is your chance to prove him wrong

Norton and MacAfee do not play well with Outlook Express.

If uninstalling Norton doesn't fix the problem I am sure you will receive
other suggestions, if it proves to be a patch problem they will refer it to
Microsoft.

If you want info about other virus protection programs, post a query in this
newsgroup, there are many and most are free.

The 'not' was NOT a typo. IMHO you're better off in Vista with nothing than
with Norton or McAfee.

Right now all I can recommend are NOD32 and Avast, the latter being free.

Should have mentioned that they both screw up OE. McAfee's worse.

Well I have to respectfully disagree with the advice then. I have been using
Norton for years (Norton 2001 - Norton 2006) without issues (on this
operating system and computer for 3 years) until last week after upgrading to
ie 7 and other critical patches. I am running Windows XP pro SP2 not Vista.
I do not believe an AV program that works fine after a reboot is the root
cause for a problem that occurs after logging out and logging in again.
Especially when the problem does not occur when switching identities and not
logging out. I do believe the upgrade to ie 7 may have caused it and I am
now investigating roll back options.

Aha!

Norton what (e.g., NAV, NSW, NIS)?

Sandi's Installation Tips for IE7
http://www.ie-vista.com/known_issues.html#pre-install

[And I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.mspx as the installation source,
not Automatic/Windows Update.]

IEBlog : IE7 Installation and Anti-Malware Applications
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/200...lications.aspx

Were NAV and any anti-spyware applications disabled *before* installing IE7?
If running ZA Free, did you uninstall it before installing IE7?

Was OE running when you installed IE7?
