  Disable Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional:

E-mail is the most common way in which computer viruses are spread, so you should typically have automatic e-mail scanning enabled.  E-mail scanning applies to programs such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape, Eudora, Pegasus, etc.  E-mail attachments, html files, etc. will be scanned automatically.  If you are having problems with an e-mail program, turn off Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional to ensure Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional Antivirus is not the culprit.

Note:  Disabling the Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional Control Center will disable not only the automatic e-mail scanning but all of Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional's protection.  To disable just the e-mail protection, click here.

Disabling Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional is quite simple.  Do the following:

In the bottom, right-hand corner of your Desktop is the System Tray and, within it, the Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional icon.

Right click the Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional icon and in the menu select the option Disable Auto-Protect.

 

  Re-enable Norton AntiVirus 2004 Professional:
