If this is NAV 2001 or later, you can manually configure it scan incoming email and to either quarantine or delete infected attachments. This allows uninterrupted downloading of mail. If you configure NAV like this, it replaces each infected attachment with a text file that identifies the virus that the attachment contained, and gives the action that NAV took. Here's the full procedure of how to manually configure NAV and TB to give maximum protection with minimum disruption to mail downloads. 1. Open NAV2001, either from the Start menu or by double-clicking the system tray icon. In NAV2001, click Options. 2. In the Options dialog box, click Email Protection, in the Action list select "Delete the attachment" or "Quarantine the attachment". 3. Expand Email Protection, click Advanced, then select Enable Manual Configuration. 4. Click OK, then close NAV2001. 5. In TB, open the account properties sheet, then select Transport. 6. In the User box, type your username at your ISP, followed by a slash, followed by the name of your ISP's POP3 server. For example, if your user name fred and the mail server name is mail.mydomain.com, you should type fred/mail.mydomain.com in the User box. 7. In the Mail Server box, type pop3.norton.antivirus, then click OK.
