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 PC-cillin Antivirus to ensure PC-cillin Antivirus is not the culprit.
