We got attacked by somebug or other. It kept duplicating emails in and was generally not interested in being defeated by Norton. We got a man in who suggested Ad Aware. http://www.adware-2009.com/v2/ We ran this and hey presto all was back to normal. It is free and worth a try . IE and OE are both just fine now.
