It makes sense to 'check' incoming mail doesn't it?


Not really. Every AV program of which I'm aware has a real-time or on-access
scanner that monitors any file that you open If you get an infected message
and attempt to launch the payload, that on-access scanner will detect the
infection at that point.

I would much prefer Bullguard to 'quarantine' a virus
when it arrives, putting my email in a distinct folder
and alerting me to a potential problem
then
innocently saving an attachment and trying to open it
and only then discovering there is a virus.

Then you want trouble with your mail sending or reception.

What trouble?
Please can you be more specific?
Also why do you mention mail sending
when I was talking about mail reception?

Spend a little time browsing this newsgroup and you'll see all the trouble
scanning mail can cause.

Also why do you mention mail sending
when I was talking about mail reception?


Usually when you have mail scanning enabled, it scans both incoming and
outgoing messages.

Thank you.
Bullguard can scan incoming, outgoing, both or none.

Do you know a very nice application ' Advanced Outlook Repair'
(http://www.datanumen.com/aor/). It is a powerful tool to recover
messages, folders and other objects from corrupt or damaged Microsoft
Outlook PST files.

For me, switching 'outgoing' off wasn't sufficient.
I had to switch off Bullguard's Spamfilter.

I do agree unles one is ever vigilant and have turned incoming back

on.
The reasoning behind having outgoing off does make sense and it has
resolved the problem.

I also looked at the incoming and outgoing mail monitoring
in Bullguard. At present I have them unchecked too
until this issue is resolved.

Yes that fixed everything. I also notice that Bullguard has boxes

in
its virus checker for both incoming and outgoing mail that you can
uncheck. They are now unchecked. Thanks for your help. And I

learned a
few things too.

I have run the Office 2007 installation "Repair" facility.
It works after the necessary system restart but then
stops working after the next restart of the PC :-(
