Try saving an attachment to SD card or some other memory stored devices beside the hard drive. Then your should try scan the attachment with Norton without ever going to your hard drive first. You should take a look at how to use Norton to scan your email while you downloading it.
You have email protection from Norton Internet Secuity package?
I use Thunderbird as my email client. Is there some way to set things up so that I can click on the title of an attachment (like a right click) and scan the attachment before opening it. Instead of having to have to save it so some other place on my hard drive, then right click it to have it scanned by my Norton Internet Security package?
Thank you,
Jim
