[TheForge] Norton Anti-virus question

[Dave Mudge]

Thanks for the input, but viruses are not the direct problem.
The program is supposed to scan the attachment for viruses then let it pass
if the attachment was clean.
These attachments are clean, I already know what they are and who they are
from. The damn program is blocking ALL attachments.
thanks anyway.
