Question about norton anti-virus - ... how do i stop making it annoying?

[Arthur Dent]

Scan's out-going e-mail? I can understand why it would scan in-coming e-mail, but if it's doing it's job then your computer is clean and won't be SENDING viruses. And why would it care if someone else got infected. It's job is protecting YOUR computer not theirs. In other words, stop scanning out-going e-mail entirely. Just scan the in-coming stuff.
